docker-latex

A Docker container for compiling LaTeX Projects

The image also includes Python 3 and PyYAML so LaTeX projects can run small build automation scripts before compiling, for example generating .tex files from YAML source files.

How to use it?

1. Pull it from DockerHub

	docker pull obedmr/latex

2. Compile it ... !

	cd /path/to/your/latex/project
	# Create the output directory
	mkdir aux/
	docker run --rm -v `pwd`:/mnt obedmr/latex tex <tex_command> <main.tex>

3. That's all, you will have your compiled content inside the output dir aux/

Important Notes

• If you want to see all available TeX commands, run:

	 docker run -v `pwd`:/mnt obedmr/latex tex list-utils

• Example command for compiling my main.tex file

	 docker run -v `pwd`:/mnt obedmr/latex tex pdflatex main.tex

• Example command for running a Python/YAML build helper inside the same image:

	 docker run --rm -v `pwd`:/mnt obedmr/latex python3 scripts/generar_respuestas.py juan
