Compile LaTeX Document
Compile a LaTeX document with full citation and cross-reference resolution.
Steps
-
Identify the file from
$ARGUMENTS. If just a filename, search the current directory and subdirectories. -
Compile with 3-pass sequence:
pdflatex -interaction=nonstopmode "$ARGUMENTS"
bibtex "$(basename "$ARGUMENTS" .tex)"
pdflatex -interaction=nonstopmode "$ARGUMENTS"
pdflatex -interaction=nonstopmode "$ARGUMENTS"
If a Makefile or latexmk config exists in the same directory, prefer that instead.
-
Check for warnings:
Overfull \\hboxwarningsundefined citationsorLabel(s) may have changed- Missing references
- Font warnings
-
Report results:
- Compilation success/failure
- Number and location of overfull hbox warnings
- Any undefined citations or references
- PDF page count (via
pdfinfoif available)
-
Open the PDF for visual verification:
open "$(basename "$ARGUMENTS" .tex).pdf"
