ClutTeX is a program to automatically process your LaTeX document. If necessary, it re-runs (La)TeX program to resolve cross-references and everything.
One of its main feature is that, it does not clutter your working directory (but the final .pdf file is still brought for you).
Blog:
.aux, .log, etc. files.--watch option]--makeindex, --bibtex, --biber, --makeglossaries options]$ cluttex -e pdflatex file.tex
More general form:
$ cluttex [OPTIONS] [--] INPUT.tex
See example/ for some examples.
Click [Clone or download] button on GitHub and [Download ZIP].
Unpack cluttex-master.zip and copy bin/cluttex (or bin/cluttex.bat on Windows) to somewhere in PATH.
-e, --engine=ENGINE
Specify which TeX engine/format to use.
ENGINE is one of the following:
pdflatex, pdftex,
lualatex, luatex, luajittex,
xelatex, xetex,
latex, etex, tex,
platex, eptex, ptex,
uplatex, euptex, uptex.-o, --output=FILE
The name of output file. [default: JOBNAME.FORMAT]--fresh
Clean intermediate files before running TeX.
Cannot be used with --output-directory.--max-iterations=N
Maximum number of running TeX to resolve cross-references.
[default: 3]--[no-]change-directory
Change the current working directory to the output directory when running TeX.--watch[=ENGINE]
Watch input files for change.
Requires fswatch program or inotifywait program to be installed on Unix systems.--color[=WHEN]
Make ClutTeX's message colorful.
WHEN is one of always, auto, or never.
[default: auto if --color is omitted, always if =WHEN is omitted]--includeonly=NAMEs
Insert \includeonly{NAMEs}.--make-depends=FILE
Write dependencies as a Makefile rule.--tex-option=OPTION
Pass OPTION to TeX as a single option.--tex-options=OPTIONs
Pass OPTIONs to TeX as multiple options.--dvipdfmx-option[s]=OPTION[s]
Same for dvipdfmx.-h, --help
Print this message and exit.-v, --version
Print version information and exit.-V, --verbose
Be more verbose.--print-output-directory
Print the output directory and exit.--package-support=PKG1[,PKG2,...,PKGn]
Enable special support for shell-escaping packages.
Currently supported packages are minted and epstopdf.--engine-executable=COMMAND
The actual TeX command to use.--check-driver=DRIVER
Check that the correct driver file is loaded.
DRIVER is one of dvipdfmx, dvips, dvisvgm.
Can only be used with --output-format=dvi.Options to run auxiliary programs:
--makeindex=COMMAND
Use MakeIndex program to process .idx files.
(e.g. --makeindex=makeindex, or --makeindex=mendex)--bibtex=COMMAND
Use BibTeX program to produce .bbl file from .aux files.
(e.g. --bibtex=bibtex, or --bibtex=upbibtex)--biber[=COMMAND]
Use Biber program to produce .bbl file from .bcf file.--makeglossaries[=COMMAND]
Use makeglossaries program to produce .gls file from .glo file.TeX-compatible options:
--[no-]shell-escape--shell-restricted--synctex=NUMBER--[no-]file-line-error
[default: yes]--[no-]halt-on-error
[default: yes]--interaction=STRING
(STRING=batchmode/nonstopmode/scrollmode/errorstopmode)
[default: nonstopmode]--jobname=STRING--fmt=FORMAT--output-directory=DIR
[default: somewhere in the temporary directory]--output-format=FORMAT
Set output format (pdf or dvi).
[default: pdf]For TeX-compatible options, single-hypen forms are allowed (e.g. -synctex=1 in addition to --synctex=1).
If run as cllualatex or clxelatex, then the default engine is lualatex or xelatex, accordingly.
