latexmk
package.
Summary description: Fully automated LaTeX document generation routine
License type: gpl
Announcement text:
1. To give compatibility with tlperl (in TeX Live), latexmk now uses the Digest::MD5 module instead of the Digest module. 2. When latexmk is used under cygwin, the searched locations for the system rc file are extended to include UNIX-like paths.
This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/support/latexmk . More information is at http://tug.ctan.org/info/?id=latexmk (if the package is new it may take a day for that information to appear). We are supported by the TeX Users Group http://www.tug.org . Please join a users group; see http://www.tug.org/usergroups.html . __________________________________________________________________ Thanks for the upload. For the CTAN Team Rainer Schöpf

latexmk – Fully automated LaTeX document generation
Latexmk completely automates the process of generating a LaTeX document. Given the source files for a document, latexmk issues the appropriate sequence of commands to generate a .dvi, .ps, .pdf or hardcopy version of the document.
An important feature is the preview continuous
mode
, where the script watches all of the source files
(primary file and included TeX and graphics files), and reruns
LaTeX, etc., whenever a source file has changed. Thus a previewer
can offer a display of the document’s latest state.
