Generating Documents with ProB and Latex

ProB can (as of version 1.6.1) be used to process Latex files, i.e., the command-line tool probcli scans a given Latex file and replaces certain commands by processed results.

Usage

A typical usage would be as follows:

   probcli FILE -init -latex Raw.tex Final.tex

Note: the FILE and -init commands are optional; they are required in case you want to process the commands in the context of a certain model. Currently the probcli Latex commands mainly support B and Event-B models, TLA+ and Z models can also be processed but all commands below expect B syntax. You can add more commands if you wish, e.g., set preferences using -p PREF VAL or run model checking --model-check. The Latex processing will take place after most other commands, such as model checking.

You will probably want to put the probcli call into a Makefile, in particular when you want to generate dot graphics using ProB.

The distribution folder of ProB contains an example with a Makefile, producing the following file:
