LaTeX
LaTeX
LaTeX is the format the rest of these docs describe. Where a page says nothing about formats, it is about a .tex file. Compiling and the live preview run on the TeX distribution installed on your computer.
Where to find it
- In the editor
- Open any .tex file The main file is picked automatically, or set it yourself.
- Toolbar
- The Compile or Preview button Top right of the editor. Preview once live mode is on.
- Setting
- Terminal › Configure compile command… The command, the engine, and the Live mode switch.
Its own pages
These pages are about LaTeX:
Live preview The page updates as you type, rendered by your own lualatex. Compiling Your own command, in a real shell, with the log read into a Problems panel. Intellisense Completion, go-to-definition, and hover across your whole project.
The Visual editing pages apply to every format. Equations, images, tables, and citations each say what differs in Typst and Markdown.
What it needs
A TeX distribution: TeX Live, MacTeX, or MiKTeX. Editing works without one. Compiling and the live preview do not.
