Convince Arara to compile .tikz files
I have recently learned about the package tikzscale and find it to be a great solution to many issues I was having. However, using it requires the file containing the tikz code to have the extension .tikz. Previously all my tikz files would be standalone so i could compile them independently to inspect the output, but with the tikz extension I can't figure out how to compile my standalone tikz pictures using arara directives like usual.
My .tikz files looks like this
% arara: lualatex
% arara: lualatex
documentclass[tikz]{standalone}
begin{document}
begin{tikzpicture}
fill [orange] (0.1, 0.1) rectangle (0.2, 0.3);
end{tikzpicture}
end{document}
I have attempted to modify the araraconfig.yaml file to contain the following:
!config
filetypes:
- extension: tex
- extension: dtx
- extension: ltx
- extension: tikz
pattern: ^(\s)*%\s+
but arara fails, saying ...no directives were found. Is there a way to convince arara to treat a .tikz file as it would a .tex file, or do i need to add a whole new set of rules to my arara rules for the .tikz extension?
