How to pass PDFLaTeX options? #233

Closed dpo closed 3 years ago

dpo commented 3 years ago

My document must be compiled with -shell-escape. How do I instruct latexdiff to pass that flag to pdflatex?

Thanks in advance!

I guess you refer to latexdiff-vc. This is supposed to work like this: 

 latexdiff-vc - --pdf -c LATEX='pdflatex --shell-escape' ...

but there is a bug in the current release version that makes it impossible to include space. It's fixed in commit dbf247f , but if you want to patch your local version, you can also simply find the line

  $CFG{LATEX} = "pdflatex";

in latexdiff-vc and add the desired options.
