Register to General ?

[jonathanBieler]

Hey @rened, it looks like this package wasn't registered to General. If you want I can do the update. It would be nice if you could add me as a collaborator, otherwise I'll be bothering you quite a bit :

I am quite new to Julia, so please excuse this beginner question. Is this issiue why I get

(docs) pkg> add LaTeX
ERROR: The following package names could not be resolved:
 * LaTeX (not found in project, manifest or registry)

[jonathanBieler]

@famura this package is not registered and not up-to-date. I got a PR for updating it but it wasn't merged, you can try this, it might work :

]add https://github.com/jonathanBieler/LaTeX.jl.git

@jonathanBieler thank you for the explanation. I tried your suggestion and it worked 👍

[jonathanBieler]

Maybe I should register my fork, I still find this package useful at times.

[famura]

Sounds like a good idea. That would make it easier to run it within gh workflows.

This is a bit off-topic @jonathanBieler, but do you know how I can compile a tex-file from Julia? I know that this package is more about creating the latex content programatically, however in my case there is already a main.tex and I just want to compile and display a pdf from it.

I tried LaTeX.openpdf(joinpath(PROJECT_ROOT_DIR, "paper", "main.tex")) but that crashed, and I assume that the latex argument of makepdf is expecting sth else than a tex-document.

[jonathanBieler]

@famura I think running that line should do it (with texname being the path to your tex file) :

https://github.com/rened/LaTeX.jl/blob/master/src/LaTeX.jl#L113

In the end, I solved my problem with your hint, but without LaTeX.jl :)

I have a page called "paper.md" which dispalyes the current WIP build of the paper. This file, just like the rest of the doc lives in the docs folder which is located in the ROOT_DIR. The paper is build in the paper folder which is also located in the ROOT_DIR. Finally, the resulting pdf is displayed in the "paper.md" file which is included in the doc just like Documenter.jl does it with other markdown files.

```@eval
import MyProject

cd(joinpath(MyProject.ROOT_DIR, "paper"))

output = read(`pdflatex -shell-escape -halt-on-error main.tex`,String)
occursin("Error:", output) && println(output)

cp(joinpath(MyProject.ROOT_DIR, "paper", "main.pdf"), joinpath(MyProject.ROOT_DIR, "docs", "build", "main.pdf"))
nothing
