# Paper Compile: LaTeX to Submission-Ready PDF Compile the LaTeX paper and fix any issues: **$ARGUMENTS** ## Constants - **COMPILER = `latexmk`** — LaTeX build tool. Handles multi-pass compilation automatically. - **ENGINE = `pdflatex`** — LaTeX engine. Options: `pdflatex` (default), `xelatex` (for CJK/custom fonts), `lualatex`. - **MAX_COMPILE_ATTEMPTS = 3** — Maximum attempts to fix errors and recompile. - **PAPER_DIR = `paper/`** — Directory containing LaTeX source files. - **MAX_PAGES** — Page limit.

ICLR=9, NeurIPS=9, ICML=8. **IEEE venues: references ARE included in page count.** IEEE journal ≈ 12-14 pages, IEEE conference ≈ 5-8 pages (all inclusive). ## Workflow ### Step 1: Verify Prerequisites Check that the compilation environment is ready: ```bash # Check LaTeX installation which pdflatex && which latexmk && which bibtex # If not installed, provide instructions: # macOS: brew install --cask mactex-no-gui # Ubuntu: sudo apt-get install texlive-full # Server: conda install -c conda-forge texlive-core ``` Verify all required files exist: ```bash # Must exist ls $PAPER_DIR/main.tex # Should exist ls $PAPER_DIR/references.bib ls $PAPER_DIR/sections/*.tex ls $PAPER_DIR/figures/*.pdf 2>/dev/null || ls $PAPER_DIR/figures/*.png 2>/dev/null ``` ### Step 2: First Compilation Attempt ```bash cd $PAPER_DIR # Clean previous build artifacts latexmk -C # Full compilation (pdflatex + bibtex
