But this means that the whatever.tex file needs to exist beforehand and the
result is whatever.pdf
I want the actual PDF to be produced have a name that comes from the XML I am
processing and thus the whatever.tex file be created by lua. There is no
whatever.tex file before I run the command.
Pre-command:
XML:
contains file name “foo”
there is no .tex file
Command:
produces foo.tex (gets the name from the XML) and “foo.pdf"
