I am writing a document using Pandoc and I'm visualizing it by compiling to PDF, since that's the end format that the document is going to have.
When the file was small it was very fast, but now that I have several figures, a lot of text, bibliography, etc., the compilation takes about 5 to 7 seconds every time. Is there a way to speed up that process?
Some thoughts:
- I have already created a
fast.latextemplate that I'm using with as few options/packages as possible - Every time Pandoc compiles the PDF, I believe it's actually calling
pdflatextwice and alsobibtex, which sometimes is not necessary.
So if speeding up a "full" compilation isn't possible, at least there should be a way to tell Pandoc to use only one pdflatex for times you don't change anything but some text (I think).
