Docker image for generating LaTeX documents

Since setting up LaTeX on, for example, Mac OSX may be a chore, hopefully this will make it easier.

The image includes these packages:

• texlive-full
• biber
• python-pygments
• gnuplot

It also comes equiped with Palemonas (v2.1) font.

Setup

Get the image:

docker pull edmundask/vu-latex

Usage

For ultimate flexibility, you'll mostly want to use cmd.sh as your starting point.

./cmd.sh xelatex <args>

For example:

./cmd.sh xelatex example.tex
./cmd.sh biber example
./cmd.sh xelatex example.tex

Alternatively, you can use the existing Makefile to your advantage (it's a bit sketchy, fits my needs). The important thing to keep in mind is to place your LaTeX file in src/ directory and name it src/document.tex. The generated PDF file will appear in dist/ after running:

make generate

Then you can open it: make show.
