# The `-interaction=nonstopmode -halt-on-error` arguments make LaTeX terminate on the first error.
# This makes it a bit nicer to use with IDE integration and is closer to the behavior of
# Overleaf which most people are familiar with.
#
# You can remove these arguments, if you want the default interactive behavior of LaTeX.
