The package helps to automate a typical LaTeX workflow that
involves running LaTeX several times, running tools such as BibTeX
or makeindex, and so on. It will log requests like
“please rerun LaTeX” or “please run BibTeX
on file X” to an external XML file which lists all open
tasks in a machine-readable format. Compiler scripts and
integrated LaTeX editing environments may parse this file to
determine the next steps in the workflow in a way that is more
efficient than parsing the main log file. In sum, the package will
do two things:
1) enable package authors to use LaTeX commands to issue
requests,
2) collect all requests from all packages and write them to an
external XML file at the end of the document.
