seismo

A lightweight script for automatically building and viewing LaTeX projects managed by tectonic.

Usage

Simply create a new tectonic project (or cd into an existing one) and then start the script:

$ tectonic -X new foo
$ cd foo
$ seismo
Started watching `/path/to/foo`

or alternatively:

$ tectonic -X new foo
$ seismo foo 
Started watching `/path/to/foo`

Installation

Simply clone the repo and then install like this:

$ git clone https://github.com/Einliterflasche/seismo
$ cd seismo
$ cargo install --path .

Prerequisites

• a compatible tectonic version (tested versions: 0.12)
• xdg-open from xdg-utils must be available

Limitations

• The script does not listen for changes to Tectonic.toml. If you change the file, you will have to restart the script.
• The script does not close the file viewer after opening it. This might lead to your pdf viewer reopening again and again.
