Description
Thanks for your work in this vey interesting project.
I could not yet get it installed because of the excessive size of the mandatory dependencies.
In addition to the 500 MB go compiler, I had to hunt and peck for latex dependencies in a lot of different packages.
These are my suggestions to make optional what does not need to be mandatory.
This should make this tool more available for a wide group of users
Any suggestions are welcome.
RequirementsMake sure xelatex is installed (on MacOS you can use MacTeX) is following packages:
fontspec calc geometry graphicx fancyhdr lastpage xstring libertineAll those packages should come with standard LiveTeX packaging.
I'm on Arch Linux, so please don't assume everyone will be using a Mac.
All those packages should come with standard LiveTeX packaging.
This is not the case.
For the basics I had to install 400 MEGA with
local/texlive-bin 2021.58686-3
TeX Live binaries
local/texlive-core 2021.58710-2 (texlive-most)
TeX Live core distribution
This is acceptable.
Though it was not enough. Because of fancyhdr I still needed more 50 MEGA
local/texlive-latexextra 2021.58668-2 (texlive-most)
TeX Live - Large collection of add-on packages for LaTeX.
And finaly because of "libertine" I still needed
Repository : extra
Name : texlive-fontsextra
Version : 2021.58704-1
Description : TeX Live - all sorts of extra fonts
....
Download Size : 535.82 MiB
Installed Size : 1438.96 MiB.

At this point I decided not to install it because I was only installing 2 Gigabytes of latex only because of this tool.
Could you some how make this optional ?
Thanks in advance
