TeXLive Action

This action compiles LaTeX docs to PDF using latexmk with a minimal texlive image.

Differences from the original repoository (repaction/texlive)

• Includes Microsoft fonts (i.e., Times New Roman)
• Uses TeX Live Docker image from Paperist/texlive-ja

Example

In your TeX document repository, setup a GitHub Action like this. The compiled PDF will be available as artifacts (downloadable as ZIP).

  workflow_dispatch:
