Texmake is a software solution comprising a Makefile and a script that facilitates the production of LaTeX documents through the use of pdflatex predominately.
The Makefile is capable of generating pdf, ps, and html output. It does so by compiling the latex source with pdflatex, which is then used to generate the pdf file. If a ps file is required, the pdf file is converted using acroread or pdf2ps. HTML documentation is generated using latex2html. Additionally, the script and Makefile can handle indexes using makeindex.
To use Texmake, simply edit the Makefile and change the DOCUMENTS=example1 example2 line. From there, the Makefile assumes that there are files named example1.tex and example2.tex that will serve as the source of your documentation. Once set up, you can use commands like "make example1.pdf," “make example1.ps", or "make example1_html” to generate the desired output.
Texmake also allows you to create all of the aforementioned files for each example at once, so long as you include the appropriate files. Simply use the command “make all” to accomplish this.
It is important to note that the Makefile does not automatically track included files. As a result, there is a possibility that Makefile may not rebuild a document when an included file has changed. However, the software is still incredibly useful for generating documentation, especially thanks to its helpful pattern rules.
