thanks for you hint. It seems to work.

Now, what I would like to be able to do next is something like the
following:

domain Autore
AutoreController.php includes a new action:
public function listtexAction() {             
                include_once('mario.php');   // my library
                $new = new Mario;
		$autores = $this->autoreRepository->findAll(); 
$renderedTemplate =?  $this->view->assign('autores', $autores); // (*)
                echo $new->texIt($renderedTemplate);  
// textIt create a .tex file and pass to pdflatex. 
 	}

I know that (*) is no sense, but I hope you understand what I would like
to do. 

Your advise is very welcome
thanks
