jcabi-latex-maven-plugin

Maven plugin for generating PNG images from LaTeX sources during mvn site phase.

Make sure the following tools are installed on your machine and available on PATH:

• pdflatex (from any LaTeX distribution, e.g. TeX Live)
• gs (Ghostscript)
• pnmcrop, pnmscale, and pnmtopng (from Netpbm)

On Debian or Ubuntu, this is enough:

sudo apt-get install -y texlive-latex-base ghostscript netpbm

Configure the plugin pointing it to your LaTeX sources:

<project>
  <build>
    <plugins>
      <plugin>
        <groupId>com.jcabi</groupId>
        <artifactId>jcabi-latex-maven-plugin</artifactId>
        <version>1.2.0</version>
        <executions>
          <execution>
            <goals>
              <goal>compile</goal>
            </goals>
            <configuration>
              <sources>
                <file>picture.tex</file>
              </sources>
            </configuration>
          </execution>
        </executions>
      </plugin>
    </plugins>
  </build>
</project>

Run mvn site and a PNG file will be created in target/site/latex/picture.png
