Copyright 2025 Herbert Voß <hvoss@tug.org> all files are LPPL 1.3
Small script like latexmk to run a LaTeX document controlled from within the document itself.
The syntax of runtexfile
runtexfile [options] filename
eg
runtexfile test runtexfile -V test
possible options are (short,long):
-h,--help -V,--verbose -v,--version <file> .tex file
The TeX or LaTeX document has to define the comamnds at the beginning of the document. Only empty lines are possible before the command lines:
%! HV runtexfile
%! HV xindex
%! HV runtexfile
\documentclass{foo}
...
In this case the given filename from runtexfile is used. Other filenames can be used inside angles:
%! HV lualatex --shell-escape
%! HV biber
%! HV lualatex --shell-escape
%! HV xindex
%! HV xindex --config DIN2 -l DE -o test2.vwd <test2.vwx>
%! HV xindex --config DIN2 -l DE -o test2.dbd <test2.dbx>
%! HV lualatex --shell-escape
%! HV lualatex --shell-escape
\documentclass{...}

runtexfile – Automate the process of compiling (La)TeX documents with index, bibliography,…
This package provides a small script like latexmk to run a TeX or LaTeX document controlled from within the document itself. The commands have to be defined at the beginning of the document, e.g.:
%! HV lualatex --shell-escape
%! HV biber
%! HV lualatex --shell-escape
%! HV xindex
%! HV xindex --config DIN2 -l DE -o test2.vwd <test2.vwx>
%! HV xindex --config DIN2 -l DE -o test2.dbd <test2.dbx>
%! HV lualatex --shell-escape
%! HV lualatex --shell-escape
\documentclass[...]{...}
...
The script itself does not parse the log file.
