how to specify "--shell-escape" for latexmk

[Peng Yu]

I need to specify "--shell-escape" for latexmk? If you know how to do
it, would you please let me know?

Thanks,
Peng

[Lars Madsen]

do you mean specify --shell-espace for the latex used by latexmk?

create a file called peng.rc

in it you place

$latex = 'latex --shell-escape';
$pdflatex = 'pdflatex --shell-escape';

then use

latexmk -r peng.rc <other options> file.tex

There should be an overall configuration file as well. I think you might be able
to use $HOME/.latexmkrc or similar
