General ⇒ Compilation asks for imformation

[gerardsao]

Hi.

Is there a way to obtain yhis :

I'd like Latex asks me for an information (a word, number, .....) when I compil the Latex file.

Or : each time I compil a Latex file it puts an recorded (in a text file, for example) infomation in the outputfile (pdf file)?


Thank you.

You can make LaTeX ask for something, but it is tedious. I think you want some kind of versioning. Best way to do that is using version control software (outside LaTeX) like cvs or git.

With hperref, you can write the compilation date to the pdf meta information.
