The upcoming citation support needs a reliable way to run the required bibliography processor (e.g. biber or bibtex). Therefore the current default setting that only runs latex three times does not suffice. On the other hand running biber unconditionally will result in errors if no citation and bibliography has been used in the document. So we need a more sophisticated method to run the LaTeX engine and associated tools. One way would be to use something that tries to do exactly this: Depending on the LaTeX document and/or the log file decide what's left to do to get a properly set result. With latexmk it is also easier to handle generation of index or glossaries files etc. Or we try to re-build something like this in Elisp (which would be nice but quite a lot of work; even if we utilize the lessons learned from latexmk). -- Until the next mail..., Stefan.
