One thing to look at

  • no licenseNo license file was found in the repository. Code published without one is not open source by default, so using it at work is a question for whoever answers licensing questions where you are.

Compile LaTeX Manuscript

Compile a LaTeX manuscript using the standard 3-pass sequence for full citation resolution.

Steps

  1. Identify the file: Use $ARGUMENTS as the base name (without .tex). If no argument, look for the main .tex file in the paper folder.

  2. Compile (from the paper folder):

    pdflatex -interaction=nonstopmode $ARGUMENTS.tex
bibtex $ARGUMENTS
pdflatex -interaction=nonstopmode $ARGUMENTS.tex
pdflatex -interaction=nonstopmode $ARGUMENTS.tex

  3. Check results:

    • Grep for Overfull \\hbox warnings -- count them
    • Grep for undefined citations or missing references
    • Verify PDF was generated with non-zero size: ls -la $ARGUMENTS.pdf
    • Report page count if pdfinfo is available

  4. Report:

    • Compilation: PASS / FAIL
    • Warnings: N overfull hbox, N undefined citations
    • PDF: exists, N pages, X KB

Notes

  • Uses pdflatex by default. Change to xelatex or lualatex if your project requires it.
  • The .bib file should be in the same directory or referenced with a relative path.
  • Parameter estimates loaded via \input{} must exist at their referenced paths.
