A GitHub Action that compiles LaTeX documents to PDF inside a Dockerized full TeXLive environment. It supports multiple LaTeX engines, TeXLive versions, multi-document builds, custom fonts, and pre/post-compile scripts.

Use cases

• compile latex to pdf in github actions
• build pdf from tex files in ci
• automate latex document builds on push
• compile multiple latex documents in one workflow
• use xelatex or lualatex in github actions ci
• pin texlive version for reproducible latex builds

When to choose

• you want to build LaTeX PDFs automatically in GitHub Actions workflows
• you need a full TeXLive environment without installing it yourself
• you need multiple documents, custom fonts, or specific TeXLive versions in CI

When to avoid

• you need to run arbitrary commands in TeXLive rather than compile LaTeX (use texlive-action)
• your CI is not GitHub Actions
• you compile LaTeX locally rather than in CI
