NAME

rlatex — Wrapper to run LaTeX/jadeTeX multiple times as needed

SYNOPSIS

[env LATEXPRG=latex-binary ] rlatex [latex-document]

Description

rlatex applies LaTeX or another LaTeX-based macro package (most notably jadetex, pdflatex, or pdfjadetex) to a given document, as many successive times as needed.

It checks the output of a LaTeX pass, and launches a new pass when it notices specific strings which notify that the document's processing has not been finished.

Caveats

This version is mostly tuned for jadetex, and may cause some problems when using pure LaTeX. This ought to be fixed some day.
