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.
ClutTeX is included in TeX Live.
If you want to install it manually, go Releases page and download the latest archive (zip or tar.gz). Unpack the archive and copy bin/cluttex 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.
