As suggested here, latexmk
is a handy way to continually compile your document whenever the source changes. But often when you\'re working on a document you\'ll en
With MikTeX, pdflatex
has this command-line option:
-interaction=MODE Set the interaction mode; MODE must be one
of: batchmode, nonstopmode, scrollmode,
errorstopmode.
Edit suggested by @9999years:
Those values are equivalent to a set of LaTeX \commands
that provide the same functionality.
From TeX usage tips:
The modes make TeX behave in the following way:
errorstopmode
stops on all errors, whether they are about errors in the source code or non-existent files.
scrollmode
doesn't stop on errors in the source but requests input when a more serious error like like a missing file occurs.In the somewhat misnamed
nonstopmode
, TeX does not request input after serious errors but stops altogether.
batchmode
prevents all output in addition to that (intended for use in automated scripts). In all cases, all errors are written to the log file (yourtexfile.log).
