Configuring Arara under TeXworks

Here’s a short tutorial how to configure Arara under TeXworks:

1) Open the TeXworks settings (In the German version via „Bearbeiten“ => „Einstellungen“ => „Textsatz“)

2) Click the ‚+‘ button

step01

3) Specify a new name and command

step02

4) Specify the options to be given to Arara when called from TeXworks

step03

5) Final optional step: Move the new tool up in the toolchain.

step04

The following code snippet should work fine then. The first line is evaluated by TeXworks, it automatically switches the TeX engine.

%!TEX TS-program = Arara
% arara: pdflatex
\documentclass[12pt,ngerman]{scrartcl}
 
\begin{document}
 
Hello Arara!
 
\end{document}
