LATEXMLC(1p)

💖 LATEXMLC 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to LATEXMLC, which lives in section 1p of the User Contributed Perl Documentation and is fr fr one of those little tools that does way too much and somehow never brags about it. it's a perl situation, it's in the user-contributed docs, and honestly? it's giving main character energy. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

latexmlc — an omni-executable for LaTeXML, capable of stand-alone, socket-server and web service conversion. Supports both core processing and post-processing.

no cap, "omni-executable" is the whole vibe here. it does conversion in like three different flavours and it also handles the post-processing, like it's not just doing one job, it's doing the whole group project <em>by itself</em>. 👑

🎀 SYNOPSYS 🎀

okay so the synopsis here isn't even gonna spell it out for you, it's pointing you elsewhere:

See the OPTIONS section in LaTeXML::Common::Config for usage information.

so yeah, all the actual usage deets? they live over in LaTeXML::Common::Config. go say hi to that page. 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so here's the tea, bestie:

latexmlc provides a client which automatically sets up a LaTeXML local server if necessary (via latexmls). 🔥

if such a server already exists, the client just proceeds to communicate normally — like, no drama, no setup, it just slides right in and talks to the server that's already there. 🫶

and if you want a stand-alone conversion — which, heads up, is the default — you can also request it explicitly via --expire=-1. yes, negative one. yes, on purpose. that's just how it is, don't come for me. 🍓

--expire=-1

aaaaand that's the whole page, babes. this little icon was rendered with perl v5.40.1, dated 2025-11-16, and it's the LATEXMLC(1p) page — so if you cite it in your essay, that's the one. slay, go convert something. 💖✨🎀
