This LaTeX package helps you execute commands from the document and then input
their output. The package uses [`shellesc`](https://ctan.org/pkg/shellesc) package.
The development of this package was motivated by [this](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3252957).

First, [install it](https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/LaTeX/Installing_Extra_Packages)
from [CTAN](https://ctan.org/pkg/iexec) 
and then use in the preamble:

```tex
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{iexec}
\begin{document}
Today is \iexec{date +\%e-\%b-\%Y | tr -d '\\n'}.
\end{document}
```

The full example and all commands are available in the 
[`iexec.pdf`](https://ftp.agdsn.de/pub/mirrors/latex/dante/macros/latex/contrib/iexec/iexec.pdf) file.

If you want to contribute yourself, make a fork, then create a branch, 
then run `make` in the root directory.
It should compile everything without errors. If not, submit an issue and wait.
Otherwise, make your changes and then run `make` again. If the build is
still clean, submit a pull request.
