It's also customizable and has some nice features, such as the continuous preview and compilation of documents: latexmk detects changes on your document and depending files, builds them and updates the resulting PDF file in your document viewer. Latexmk is a Perl script that knows how to build your LaTeX documents and how many reruns does it need to be complete. The solution is to use an specific maker for LaTeX, named Latexmk. The problem with LaTeX is that you'll probably need multiple compilation runs to get the references, bibliography, etc, right and that doesn't sit well with Make. But unless you want to end up absolutely crazy, don't use Make. ![]() You may think now that Make is the solution, as it's built for these kind of things. If we want to separate the presentation (the TeX code) from the content (the data files, plots and calculation results) we will end up with some dependencies. I uploaded to a Github repository some sample code with all the needed files: here's what the document looks like and here you can take a look at the code used to generate it. If you have some plots generated by gnuplot or tables from some data file, again, let your document typesetting system take care of filling them.įirst of all, a sample of what can be done. If you have to do some calculations to get the data you need in your document, write those calculations in the document and let LaTeX (with knitr, as we'll see later) recreate them if needed. The solution: again, separate content and presentation. This isn't a bad thing if you only have to do it once or twice, but it can get annoying quickly. What if you're writing a technical document and a graphic must be regenerated if the data files change? What if those data files should also be summed up in a table and some key values discussed in the document? You'd probably end up re-running your R and gnuplot scripts, and copy-pasting the results. However, this philosophy doesn't extend to all aspects of LaTeX. In other words you only need to worry about what you're doing right now and nothing more. Your image needs to be wider? Change it, LaTeX adjusts its position in the document. Need a new column layout? Just add an option in the document class. ![]() One of the nice things of LaTeX is that it allows you to separate the content and the formatting/layout of your documents. ![]()
