The -pvc flag means that if latexmk detects any modification to any
document involved in the current job (a subdocument, the .sty file, a
.bib file, or whatever), it reruns the appropriate builds to bring the
pdf up to date, and it only stops when everything is up to date. I can
focus that action on parts of the book by commenting or uncommenting
elements in the master file.
The moment one breaks down a large piece of work into specialized parts,
one gains more control over that piece of work. And org-publish helps
manage all of that. It is about managing a large book as a website (via
org-publish). In short, the combination of org-publish, projectile and
latexmk is quite productive for me in this type of work.
Anyway, as they say that a picture is worth a thousand words, I have
made this short example video. This is a dictionary I produced a year
ago. Each dictionary entry has its own separate bibliographic list, so I
had to manage more than 100 separate bib files. I have all these files
inside an Org document, and I create them using org-babel-tangle. The
video shows editing a field in a bib file. I've removed the build time
from the video, as the entire book is almost a thousand pages long.
