know what<br>
type of "LaTeX PDF" you want. Book? Article? Beamer?
Letterhead?</p>
<p>The approach I use is TextExpander snippets. I want to write a
letter<br>
-- no problem ".letter" and the appropriate metadata is there and
all set for me to tab between fields to enter a recipient, etc.
Same with a<br>
slideshow for a presentation, etc.</p>
<p>There is no such thing as a "LaTeX" document per se -- it's a
framework<br>
for creating lots of types of documents, and the metadata is
required to<br>
configure things.</p>
<p>You could write a wrapper script to do what you ask, but it
would then<br>
be limited to the set up you want, which is likely different from
the<br>
set-up I want, which is likely different from what everyone else
wants.</p>
