Compile LaTeX files in Julia using the [*tectonic*][tectonic] typesetting

system. Also provides a [`biber`][biber] binary that is compatible with the

version of the `biblatex` package provided with *tectonic*.

## Binaries

This package wraps the official binaries for both bundled programs:

  - [*tectonic* `0.8.0`][tectonic-binaries] (MIT license)

  - [*biber* `2.14`][biber-binaries] (Artistic 2.0 license)

## Supported Operating Systems and Julia Versions

The package provides binaries for 64-bit Linux, MacOS, and Windows and has been

tested against Julia `1.3` to `1.8`.

## Examples

```

(@v1.6) pkg> add Tectonic

julia> using Tectonic

julia> tectonic() do bin

           run(`$bin file.tex`)

       end

```

## Using `biber` with `tectonic`

If you need to compile a document that contains `biblatex` then you will need

to provide the `biber` program to `tectonic` by adding it to the `PATH`. This

can be done by calling `Biber.biber` as follows

```

julia> biber() do _

           tectonic() do bin

               run(`$bin file.tex`)

           end

       end

```

If `biber` already exists on your `PATH` then calling `Tectonic.tectonic`

will find it automatically and use it.
