Compile LaTeX Manuscript

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

Steps

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

Compile (from the paper folder):

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

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
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.
