Nanoc filter to compile .tex files to pdf using the latexmk command. Supports both pdflatex and xelatex.

You need everything to build your LaTeX file manually, so latexmk, pdflatex and xelatex need to be installed on your system.

To use this filter, add nanoc-latexmk to your Gemfile.

gem 'nanoc-latexmk'

Then require this project in your Rules:

require 'nanoc/latexmk'

First, be sure to add tex to the text_extensions in your nanoc.yaml.

With a basic file in content/file.tex:

---
title: Hello
---
\section{World}

And a layout in layouts/default.tex.erb

\documentclass{article}
\title{<%= item[:title] %>}
\begin{document}
\maketitle
<%= yield %>
\end{document}

You can add this to your Rules

compile '/**/*.tex', rep: :pdf do
  layout '/default.tex.erb'
  filter :latexmk
  write ext: 'pdf'
end
