Back to search · Project homepage

Description

The LaTeX::Driver module takes care of running and re-running latex on a LaTeX document so that forward references, tables of contents, and lists of figures and tables are resolved. It will also run bibtex and makeindex if it detects that a bibliography or in index have been specified, and will re-run latex again one or more times until the formatting of the document has stabilized. The code was in part derived from the Template Toolkit Latex plugin and patches I had written for Template Toolkit before the Latex plugin was forked off from the main TT distribution. It was also inspired by the latexn C Shell script and the latexmk script by John Collins, both of which are on CTAN (the Comprehensive TeX Archive Network).
