Module flags

+cdlatex

Enable cdlatex for fast math insertion.

+fold

Use TeX-fold (from auctex) to fold LaTeX macros to unicode, and make folding hook-based and less manual.

+latexmk

Use LatexMk instead of LaTeX to compile documents.

+lsp

Enable LSP support in latex buffers. Requires :tools lsp and a langserver (supports digestif and TexLab).

TODO Hacks

TODO Changelog

Installation

Enable this module in your doom! block.

This module requires ghostscript and a latex compiler. These are provided by the texlive bundle, available through many OS package managers.

🚧 Ghostscript <= 9.27 is reportedly buggy and doesn't work with auctex's math previews. (You can check you ghostscript version with $ gs --version.) Most package managers already have newer versions, but if not you might have to build gs from source.

Ubuntu

apt-get install texlive

Arch Linux

pacman -S texlive-core

TODO macOS

brew install --cask basictex
# If the above doesn't work, then
brew install --cask mactex  # WARNING: large 4gb download!

🔨 This has not been verified.

NixOS

environment.systemPackages = [ pkgs.texlive.combined.scheme-medium ];

TODO Usage

🔨 This module has no usage documentation yet. Write some?

Configuration

Specifying the location of a bibtex file & corresponding PDFs

Reftex has a variable that allow you to specify where it should find your bibliography file(s):

;; in $DOOMDIR/config.el
(setq reftex-default-bibliography "/your/bib/file.bib")

Changing the PDFs viewer

This module provides integration for four supported pdf viewers. They are

• Skim.app (MacOS only)
• Evince
• Sumatra PDF
• Zathura
• Okular
• pdf-tools (requires :tools pdf module)

They are searched for in this order. See +latex-viewers to change the order, or remove tools from the search altogether. If you want to exclusively use one tool, for instance:

;; in $DOOMDIR/config.el
(setq +latex-viewers '(zathura))

If none of these tools are found, latex-preview-pane (uses DocView in Emacs) is used as a fallback. You can use this exclusively by setting +latex-viewers to nil.

Using cdlatex's snippets despite having yasnippet

cdlatex has a snippet insertion capability which is disabled in favor of yasnippet when using :editor snippets. If you still wanna use it, simply rebind the TAB key for cdlatex, which takes care of snippet-related stuff:

;; in $DOOMDIR/config.el
(map! :map cdlatex-mode-map
      :i "TAB" #'cdlatex-tab)

This would favor yasnippet's expansion and cursor movement over cdlatex's expansion and movement, but that shouldn't matter if you're not using yasnippet in latex buffers.
