Rubber - Building system for LaTeX documents
Rubber is a building system for LaTeX
documents. It is based on a routine that runs only as many
compilations as necessary. The module system provides a great
flexibility that virtually allows support for any package with no user
intervention, as well as pre- and post-processing of the document. The
standard modules currently provide support for bibtex, dvips, pdftex,
makeindex, cweb, and graphics/graphicx.
