Feature Request: Command to Run Compile

[chrisgrieser]

Describe the solution you'd like Add a command to the command palette for running the currently configured compile workflow. Then, with the advanced URI plugin, you can trigger a compile programmatically and for example combine it with a makefile or a shell script also running pandoc.

This would allow you to create a finished end product with just one trigger, enabling things like live updating your paper in Obsidian. (see this example without the longform plugin, where someone live-updates their latex project as soon as changes in the Obsidian vault are detected: https://discord.com/channels/686053708261228577/722584061087842365/1116257946398117898)

Describe alternatives you've considered Can't think of any to achieve this with the longform plugin.

Optionally, you can also add a URI to trigger the compile step, since it's something people would commonly want to trigger from outside Obsidian, removing the advanced URI plugin as dependency for that kind of workflow.

also, the compile step request for export via pandoc (#142) might also be relevant for this to streamline the process

Makes sense!
