So, it only took me 1.5 years to crank this puppy out.

I’m happy to finally release RTeX v2.0.
RTeX is a Ruby library for generating PDFs via the LaTeX typesetting system, and can be used as a standalone executable or Rails plugin for pdf.rtex files. If you need to generate complex (and well-typeset) documents dynamically, this might be the ticket.
This updated version of RTeX offers a number of improvements over previous versions, and has been a long time in making. For more details on the library, start here.
