instruct LaTeX to run several times for essentially different
reasons (for example, &ldquo;get the table of contents stable&rdquo;, &ldquo;get the
labels stable&rdquo;, &ldquo;add the bibliography&rdquo;, &ldquo;add the index&rdquo;) is
actually rather difficult to express in the &lsquo;ordinary&rsquo; sort of

(for a long time) was <i>latexmk</i>, which is a <i>Perl</i>
script that analyses your LaTeX source for its dependencies, runs

solution (and was used in generating printable versions of these

many bells and whistles that allow it to operate as if it were a poor
