Compilation without Log File

Post by breadontoast »

Hi,

I want like to compile a *.tex file to a PDF without(!) the log file. Is it possible to tell PDFLaTeX it should not create it?

LaTeXguide.org • LaTeX-Cookbook.net • TikZ.org

NEW: TikZ book now 40% off at Amazon.com for a short time.

And: Currently, Packt sells ebooks for $4.99 each if you buy 5 of their over 1000 ebooks. If you choose only a single one, $9.99. How about combining 3 LaTeX books with Python, gnuplot, mathplotlib, Matlab, ChatGPT or other AI books? Epub and PDF. Bundle (3 books, add more for higher discount): https://packt.link/MDH5p

As far as I know not on TeX Live. you can find out on the command line by invoking the help for the compiler engine.

Code: Select all

latex -help

This yields every possible command line option that you can give to the compiler to influence its behaviour during the compilation process.

But even if, since the log value contains extremely valuable information about the complete compilation process, it is far from being advisable to turn off its generating.
