It was a pain figuring out exactly which tex dependencies this target required.

This is what is required.

Thanks for this! A thought, there are meta packages regarding latex that help you take in deps:

$ dnf search "texlive-scheme*"

========================================================================================== Name Matched: texlive-scheme* ===========================================================================================
texlive-scheme-basic.noarch : basic scheme (plain and latex)
texlive-scheme-context.noarch : ConTeXt scheme
texlive-scheme-full.noarch : full scheme (everything)
texlive-scheme-gust.noarch : GUST TeX Live scheme
texlive-scheme-medium.noarch : medium scheme (small + more packages and languages)
texlive-scheme-minimal.noarch : minimal scheme (plain only)
texlive-scheme-small.noarch : small scheme (basic + xetex, metapost, a few languages)
texlive-scheme-tetex.noarch : teTeX scheme (more than medium, but nowhere near full)

Using a texlive-scheme-* is IMO more comfortable, but it might bring in more than you might ever need. This might be especially true with sphinx.

Second thing: you don't probably need to specify "python3-sphinx" for that latexmk target. We can assume that package is installed already, as that is the first step in the article.

I also noticed "texlive-babel-spanish", this is generally some language specific typesetting. My question would be, should I use the babel-spanish and then go and use for example Czech language, will it still work or will I need "texlive-babel-czech"? :) that is where the package collections of texlive-scheme come useful IMO.

You're right @jackorp, my bad. I'll remove that. I was generating some documentation in Spanish when I was figuring this out.

[renich]

Done.

[jackorp]

Thanks for fixing that, however WDYT WRT removing python3-sphinx and the texlive-scheme-* package?

Let me just test the outcome and if it works, I'll gladly remove it.

OK, I've tested in a fedora 37 container and it seems to work. I had to add a part where I explain how to add language support for your project's language.

I couldn't find texlive-scheme-* though.

Hmm that's weird I get above 500 packages to install if I enter sudo dnf install texlive-scheme-basic in a Fedora 37 container (it is a lot but LaTeX is not THAT simple to setup). JFTR the texlive-scheme-full installs around 2.5G of packages, there are around 4k packages to install that way :D

[jackorp]

I like the babel section. Though for some reason, other languages that make use of different encoding might require other packages (I remember teammate from another project struggling with enabling czech for one LaTeX project).

But for now, I'd say it is enough to get it working, let's not overthink it. I'll take you by your word that it looks OK with the package set you have found.

LGTM from my side, if you're ok with it I think we can merge now.

For what is worth, I tried using texlive-scheme-basic and texlive-scheme-minimal and, still, I had to install:

• texlive-capt-of
• texlive-cmap
• texlive-fncychap
• texlive-framed
• texlive-needspace
• texlive-parskip
• texlive-tabulary
• texlive-tex-gyre
• texlive-upquote
• texlive-wrapfig

Thank you @jackorp. :)
