It gives you a\nway to enhance your TeX experience. The tool is an effort to provide a concise\nway to automate the daily TeX workflow for users and also package writers. Users\nmight write their own rules when the provided ones do not suffice.\n\n\u003e We are proud to announce that `arara` is part of the\n\u003e [Island of TeX](https://gitlab.com/islandoftex). The GitHub repository will\n\u003e be used as mirror but development happens on GitLab. Please open relevant\n\u003e issues and merge requests there.\n\n## Basic use\n\nTo use `arara`, you need to tell it what to do. Unlike most other tools, you\ngive `arara` these _directives_ in the document itself – usually near the top.\nSo to run `pdflatex` once on your document, you should say something like:\n\n```tex\n% arara: pdflatex\n\\documentclass{article}\n\\begin{document}\nHello, world!\n\\end{document}\n```\n\nNow when you run `arara myfile`, that directive (`% arara: ...`) will be seen\nand carried out as described by the `pdflatex` rule.  You can read more about\nrules and directives in the user manual available on our\n[CTAN page](https://ctan.org/pkg/arara) or on\n[arara's website](https://islandoftex.gitlab.io/arara/manual/). In addition\nto documenting all of the rules that come standard with `arara`, the manual\ngives a detailed explanation of how `arara` works, as well as how to create and\nuse your own rules.\n\n## Getting the latest and greatest arara\n\n`arara` is continuously built by the GitLab CI. For each and every commit, it is\nensured that a green tick means `arara` passes the test suite and is ready to\nbe tested. However, that is *not* meant you can use the executable artifacts of\nthe builds *for productive use*.\n\nDevelopment of `arara` takes place in the development branch. Feel free to be\none of our testers and enjoy the latest features and bug fixes by building from\nthere.\n\nIf you encounter any bugs or issues when using the development branch, you are\nmost welcome to get in touch with us and discuss potential solutions. We are\nalso always watching out for developers who want to join us making `arara` even\nbetter.\n\n## Get in touch\n\nWe use a [Matrix](https://matrix.to/#/!HfEWIEvFtDplCLSQvz:matrix.org?via=matrix.org)\nchat room for discussing things related to `arara`. You are more than welcome to come\njoin the fun and say *hi!* to us. We also have the\n[issues](https://gitlab.com/islandoftex/arara/issues) section in our repository\nas a valid channel to report problems, bugs and suggest improvements.\n\nIf you want to stay in the loop of our other projects, feel free to visit our\n[community room on Matrix](https://matrix.to/#/!titTeSvZiqNOvRIKCv:matrix.org?via=matrix.org).\n\n## Localization\n\nWould you like to make `arara` speak your own language? Splendid! We would love\nto have you in the team! Just contact us by opening an issue or joining our\ndedicated chatroom. The localization process is quite straightforward, we can\nhelp you! Any language is welcome!\n\n## Downloads\n\n[![Download from GitLab](https://img.shields.io/badge/dynamic/json.svg?color=blue\u0026label=Latest%20release\u0026query=%24.0.name\u0026url=https%3A%2F%2Fgitlab.com%2Fapi%2Fv4%2Fprojects%2F14349047%2Frepository%2Ftags\u0026style=flat-square)](https://gitlab.com/islandoftex/arara/-/releases)\n\nOur tool is available out of the shelf on all major TeX distributions,\nincluding TeX Live and MiKTeX, which makes manual installation unnecessary\ngiven the significant coverage of such distributions.
