Description
===========
A bash script to simplify TeX, LaTeX, XeLaTeX, and LuaLaTeX files compilation
with bibliographies (BibTeX), glossaries (MakeGlossaries), indices (MakeIndex),
PSTricks, and more. In the simplest case, the script is run as follows::
$ pdflatex.sh file.tex
Then, the ``file.tex`` file will be compiled twice with the use of the
``pdflatex`` command and all auxiliary files will be removed after the
compilation.
The ``pdflatex.sh`` script can also be used to convert images to the PDF format
and to manipulate output PDF documents. The script also lets you check
syntactic and semantic correctness of (La)TeX source files, e.g., with the use
of *ChkTeX*, and create handouts from beamer slides (for more information see
options_ and examples_).
It is possible to customize the programs (like PDF viewer), which are used by
the script in the **Programs** and **Options** sections in the source code.
Note
----
If the script is run as `pdflatex.sh`, then the `pdflatex` command is used
(producing PDF output files). However, if the script is run as `latex.sh`,
then the `latex` command is used (producing DVI output files). Moreover, if
the script is run as `xelatex.sh` or `lualatex.sh`, then the `xelatex` or
`lualatex` command is used respectively (producing PDF output files). Thus, if
necessary, symbolic links may be created to use the script easily, e.g.::
$ ln -s ./pdflatex.sh ./latex.sh
$ ln -s ./pdflatex.sh ./xelatex.sh
$ ln -s ./pdflatex.sh ./lualatex.sh
**OS X** users need to install GNU grep, i.e., ``ggrep``, which is required for
the script to work correctly.
Options
=======
``-2x1 FILE``
Put two pages of the PDF FILE on a single A4 sheet (the output will be in a
FILE-nup.pdf file).
``-2x2 FILE``
Put four pages of the PDF FILE on a single A4 sheet (the output will be in a
FILE-nup.pdf file).
``+3``
Run ``latex``/``pdflatex``/``xelatex``/``lualatex`` thrice (default is
twice).
``-b FILE``
Make ONLY BibTeX.
``+b``
Make ALSO BibTeX.
``-c FILE``
Cleanup: remove auxiliary files.
``-g FILE``
Make ONLY glossaries (MakeGlossaries).
``+g``
Make ALSO glossaries (MakeGlossaries).
``-gs DIRECTORY``
Convert SVG images in directory DIRECTORY.
``-rs DIRECTORY``
Convert SVG images in directory DIRECTORY recursively.
``-gd DIRECTORY``
Convert DIA images in directory DIRECTORY.
``-rd DIRECTORY``
Convert DIA images in directory DIRECTORY recursively.
``-h``
Print the help message and exit.
``+h``
Make a handout from a beamer presentation -- without overlays, pauses, and
other Beamer effects (the output will be in a FILE-handout.pdf file).
``-i FILE``
Make ONLY index (MakeIndex).
``+i``
Make ALSO index (MakeIndex).
``-k FILE``
Run the ``chktex`` command (if available).
``-kk FILE``
The same as '``-k``' but only errors are shown.
``-l [WIDTH] FILE``
Check if the length of each line in FILE does not exceed the given width (by
default ``WIDTH=80``)
``-n FILE``
Check non-breaking spaces.
``+n``
Disable output coloring during the compilation.
``+o``
Open the resulting PDF (or DVI) file after the compilation.
``+p``
Use ``ps4pdf`` instead of ``latex``/``pdflatex``/``xelatex``/``lualatex``
(the `"PSTricks" <https://www.ctan.org/pkg/pstricks-base>`_ package).
``-s FILE``
Check sentence separators.
``+s``
Print a summary of problems (errors and warnings) after the compilation.
``-sc [LANG] FILE``
Start the interactive ``aspell`` spell checker (by default ``LANG="en_GB"``
and UTF-8 encoding is used).
``+shell``
Enable the shell escape option of
``latex``/``pdflatex``/``xelatex``/``lualatex`` (e.g., for the `"minted"
<https://www.ctan.org/pkg/minted>`_ package).
``-ss FILE``
STRICTLY check sentence separators.
``+sync``
Enable the synchronization between the source file and the resulting DVI or
PDF file. (About the option see also `"Direct and reverse synchronization
with SyncTEX" <http://www.tug.org/TUGboat/tb29-3/tb93laurens.pdf>`_.)
``-V``
Print the script version.
Examples
========
* Compile a (La)TeX source file named ``file.tex`` (this example shows also the
script's output messages)::
$ pdflatex.sh file.tex
PDFLATEX... [done]
PDFLATEX... [done]
CLEANUP... [done]
* Compile ``file.tex`` with BibTeX, MakeGlossaries, and MakeIndex, and open a
PDF browser with the output file after the compilation::
$ pdflatex.sh +b +g +i +o file.tex
* Compile ``file.tex`` with the use of PSTricks::
$ pdflatex.sh +p file.tex
* Compile a beamer presentation file named ``beamer-presentation.tex`` and make
a handout of it (the output should be in a file named
``beamer-presentation-handout.pdf``)::
$ pdflatex.sh +h beamer-presentation.tex
* Run the ``chktex`` command, but show errors only::
$ pdflatex.sh -kk file.tex
* Convert all SVG images in directory ``images/`` (PDF and PS files will be
produced within that directory)::
$ pdflatex.sh -gs images/
* Put two pages of a file named ``file.pdf`` on a single A4 sheet (the output
should be in a file named ``file-nup.pdf``)::
$ pdflatex.sh -2x1 file.pdf
