Description

Rubber is a building system for LaTeX documents. It is based on a routine that runs just as many compilations as necessary and runs companion programs like BibTeX and Makeindex when needed. The module system provides a great flexibility that virtually allows support for any package with no user intervention, as well as pre- and post-processing of the document. A good number of standard packages are supported, including graphics/ graphicx with automatic conversion between various graphics formats and Metapost compilation. The associated tool "rubber-info" extracts information, such as dependency relations or post-compilation diagnostics.
