This helps for adding information to my processing.
What I was also looking for is that I don’t have a test.tex anymore, just the XML file I am parsing and a command line action.
So, I use mtxrun, give it the name of an XML. lua code (using a ’script’ somewhere?) reads the XML, extracts a name (e.g. ‘foo’) from it, creates a .tex file (e.g. ‘foo.tex’), produces a .pdf file from that .tex file (e.g. ‘foo.pdf').
