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.
