pdflatex:tldr:2682d
This command is used to run the pdflatex program with a specific option -halt-on-error along with a source file named ${source-tex}.
-
pdflatex is a command-line tool that compiles LaTeX documents into PDF files.
-
-halt-on-error is an option that forces pdflatex to stop compilation if it encounters an error instead of trying to continue.
-
${source-tex} is a placeholder for the actual source file name. In a command-line environment, you would replace it with the actual name of the LaTeX source file you want to compile into a PDF.
For example, if you have a LaTeX file named "mydocument.tex" and you want to compile it into a PDF using pdflatex with the -halt-on-error option, you would run the command: pdflatex -halt-on-error mydocument.tex
If pdflatex encounters an error during the compilation process, it will stop and display the error message, allowing you to identify and fix the issue.
