[Tex/LaTex] Where and how to enable ‘–shell-escape’ or ‘–enable-write18’ of pdflatex.exe in LaTeXTools of Sublime Text

miktexshell-escapesublime-text

I know how to deal with the problem with the older version of LaTeXTools. But recently LaTeXTools has been updated, which turn out to deprive me of knowing what to do.

I use Windows+MikTex, by the way.

In the more recent versions of LaTeXTools, enabling this has become less hackish. There are two methods that can be used to set flags for pdflatex. Either:

  1. At the start of your text file include a "magic" comment like this: %!TEX option = --shell-escape

Or

  1. In the builder_settings section of LaTeXTools setting file, add a key "options" like this:

    "options": [ "--shell-escape" ],
