This LaTeX package helps you execute commands from the document and then input

their output. The package uses [`shellesc`](https://ctan.org/pkg/shellesc) package.

The development of this package was motivated by [this](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3252957).

First, [install it](https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/LaTeX/Installing_Extra_Packages)

from [CTAN](https://ctan.org/pkg/iexec) 

and then use in the preamble:

```tex

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage[unskip]{iexec}

\begin{document}

Today is \iexec{date +\%e-\%b-\%Y}.

\end{document}

```

Otherwise, you can download 

[`iexec.sty`](https://yegor256.github.io/iexec/iexec.sty) and add to your project.

The full example and all commands are available in the 

[`iexec.pdf`](https://ftp.agdsn.de/pub/mirrors/latex/dante/macros/latex/contrib/iexec/iexec.pdf) file.

If you want to contribute yourself, make a fork, then create a branch, 

then run `make` in the root directory.

It should compile everything without errors. If not, submit an issue and wait.

Otherwise, make your changes and then run `make` again. If the build is

still clean, submit a pull request.
