How To Install texlive-filecontents on Fedora 36
Introduction
In this tutorial we learn how to install texlive-filecontents on Fedora 36.
What is texlive-filecontents
LaTeX2e’s filecontents and filecontents* environments enable a LaTeX source file to generate external files as it runs through LaTeX. However, there are two limitations of these environments can only be used in the preamble of a document. The filecontents package removes these limitations, letting you overwrite existing files and letting you use filecontents/filecontents* anywhere. As of September 2019 the author tells us its functionality having moved into recent LaTeX kernels. It’s probably better not to move the package to obsolete because users may need it to rebuild old documents. Version 1.5 provides full functionality when run with an older kernel but issues a warning message and disables itself when run with a newer kernel."
