latex-action

• Support pre_compile and post_compile to run arbitrary bash codes before and after compiling.
• Support compiling multiple files. Example:

  - uses: xu-cheng/latex-action@master
    with:
      root_file: |
        file1.tex
        file2.tex
  

• Provide better messages on incorrect inputs..
• Auto reset compiler and args inputs if both of them are empty.

• We now use the docker image with full TeXLive installed. The image setup script can be found at: https://github.com/xu-cheng/latex-docker
• The previous extra_packages input is now deprecated. It has no effect now.
• The texliveonfly tool is no longer used. By default, the document is compiled directly by latexmk.

• We now use a pre-built docker image from https://github.com/xu-cheng/latex-docker to speed up the building process.

• Install collection-fontutils by default

• Install collection-fontsrecommended by default
• Improve document

• Add support for installing additional system packages by apk

• Use biber/biblatex 3.13 from tlmgr.

• Verify the integrity of the TeXLive installer using GPG.

• Add support for changing working directory.

This GitHub Actions can be used to compile LaTeX documents for you.

It runs in the docker with a minimal TeXLive environment installed. Further, it uses texliveonfly to find and install the missing packages.

Following is an example of how to use it.
