Have you ever been annoyed by the endless lasting stream of warnings and errors of pdflatex
? Have you ever been annoyed by the inconsistent labelling of the erroneous line? Trex is the solution for commandline pdflatex
compilation.
If you have only one tex file in the current dir then you can simply do:
trex view
to compile and view the generated pdf. If there are multiple files trex
will prompt for the correct one.
Just put trex
in your executable path, for instance /usr/local/bin
.
Usage: trex [options] [view|compile|tex|clean] For help use: trex -h Options: -h, --help Displays help message -v, --version Display the version, then exit -q, --quiet Output as little as possible, overrides verbose -V, --verbose Output lists all errors, overrides quiet --figures Set the figures dir, default is './figures' --hack Open this script for direct changes in the sources
