TeX/LaTeX management CLI tools

Micro apps for conversion and processing TeX and LaTeX files using command line

 

Command line applications (CLIs) are computer programs designed to be used through a text-based interface. They operate by accepting text commands inputted by the user, processing them, and then displaying the results in text format. How They Work?

  • Users just type commands and arguments directly into the command prompt or terminal.
  • The CLI interprets the input and executes the corresponding actions.
  • Then the results or messages are displayed as text in the command prompt.
