About

tex-press wraps the tectonic LaTeX engine. Unlike full TeX Live (~5 GB), tectonic is a single ~50 MB binary that lazily downloads only the packages each document actually uses, then caches them. Perfect for serverless / container deployments where you don't want a half-GB image just to compile a 12-page paper.

Input is a `files[]` array — each file is `{ name, contentBase64 }`. Files can include subdirectories (`figures/diagram.png`, `chapters/intro.tex`). The `entrypoint` field names the top-level `.tex` (default: `main.tex`).

Use it for: academic papers, slide decks (Beamer), invoices and contracts, anything where you need pixel-perfect typography and equations. Pairs well with course-quill (which can output a .tex bundle that you then compile here for different output formats).

Limits: 32 files, 16 MB total input, 60-second compile timeout. Real mode requires `tectonic` on PATH plus `TEX_PIPELINE=real`.
