       arara - a TeX automation tool based on rules and directives.

SYNOPSIS

       arara [options] documents...

DESCRIPTION

       arara  is  a  TeX  automation  tool  based  on rules and directives. It gives you a way to
       enhance your TeX experience. The tool is an effort to provide a concise  way  to  automate
       the  daily  TeX  workflow  for users and also package writers. Users might write their own
       rules when the provided ones do not suffice.

       arara takes a list of documents as input.  They  will  be  processed  according  to  their
       directives. Options apply to the execution of all documents.
