TeXLive-distributions with Python-Pygments and Pandoc

Building Docker images for TeXLive

Contains TeXLive distributions for different years with additional python-pygments library for source code highlighting via minted package. Also contains Pandoc which is a free and open-source document converter, widely used as a writing tool (especially by scholars) and as a basis for publishing workflows.

How to get the image?

From the interactive docker shell, pull this image with:

docker pull sumankhanal/texlive-<year>:<tag>

Tags available are minimal, basic, small and full.

Why to use ?

If you work with Latex documents, this is useful to compile your document independent of OS and without the need to install anything. All the compilers: pdflatex, xelatex and lualatex are available in images with tag small and full.

You can easily convert markdown documents to pdf with pandoc.

Note:

• For compiling your beamer slides and thesis, image with small tag is adequate

• Or you can install beamer and minted packages with command tlmgr install beamer minted in image with basic tag. This way pulling image will be faster with less space consumption.
