Summary description: Fully automated LaTeX document generation
Announcement text:
Option -dvilua to generate dvi file by lualatex Option -xdv to generate xdv file by xelatex To support these, change in definition of $dvi_mode, and new variables $dvilualatex, $xdv_mode. Bug corrections etc. Configuration variable $bad_warnings_as_error to allow certain bad warnings in log file (e.g., '\end inside ...') to be treated by latexmk as if *latex had reported an actual error. On MS-Windows, correctly handle non-ASCII names for file and directory variables set in rc files. Other improvements in treatment of non-ASCII characters in filenames.
The package’s Catalogue entry can be viewed at https://ctan.org/pkg/latexmk The package’s files themselves can be inspected at https://mirrors.ctan.org/support/latexmk/

LaTeXmk – Fully automated LaTeX document generation
Latexmk completely automates the process of generating a LaTeX document. Given the source files for a document, latexmk issues the appropriate sequence of commands to generate a .dvi, .ps, .pdf or hardcopy version of the document.
An important feature is the preview continuous
mode
, where the script watches all of the source files
(primary file and included TeX and graphics files), and reruns
LaTeX, etc., whenever a source file has changed. Thus a previewer
can offer a display of the document’s latest state.
