• Anyone knows where can I find a summary for the luacas documentation? Something similar to overleaf's guides
    by /u/Any_Technician_2768 on February 27, 2026 at 10:51 am

    I want to use it in an exam (I'm allowed to) and searching manually for something in an 80 pages documentation is very time consuming and inefficient, so I'm looking for a succinct summary that includes the useful commands and explains how to use them in a nutshell. If anyone knows about something like that and where I can find it, or if you made something like that and are willing to share it will be super helpful! submitted by /u/Any_Technician_2768 [link] [comments]

    I’m trying to display a full page cover image in latex at the beginning of a pdf document, however every time I use \includegraphics it rotates the image and doesn’t fill the page properly. There are so many different options to achieve different results, however none to have a full page image in latex. If there is a fix, what is it. submitted by /u/Gavin-Forrester [link] [comments]

    I use VS Code as your text editor, the LaTeX Workshop extension for building and previewing documents, and MiKTeX for package management. This combination gives me flexibility in editing, smooth compilation with live previews, and lightweight package handling on demand. How is ur workflow? submitted by /u/agro_kid [link] [comments]

  • How to set fonts inside a listing
    by /u/PinguinPlayz on February 25, 2026 at 6:33 pm

    I am trying to make a custom code block for myself, but I don't like how normally the listings package uses a similar font to the default cmr font. I want to use the JetBrains Mono Nerd Font for this, which is stored my linux computer: /home/username/.local/share/fonts/JetBrainsMono/JetBrainsMonoNerdFont-Regular.ttf For LaTeX writing,I mainly use TexWorks and VSCodium.

  • Is this pricing fair for high-fidelity PDF → LaTeX conversion?
    by /u/Hamdi_bks on February 25, 2026 at 6:31 pm

    Hey everyone, I’m building a small SaaS that converts PDFs (research papers, reports, resumes, even scanned/handwritten docs) into LaTeX with ~95%+ layout and content accuracy. Current pricing: $10/month → 100 pages $20/month → 250 pages That’s roughly $0.08–$0.10 per page. I’d really appreciate your thoughts: Does the price seem fair to you? Currently I have monthly plans, and one-time credit packs can only be purchased if you have an active plan. Does that make sense, or should I switch to a one-time credit system only? Would really appreciate honest feedback Edit: It’s AI-based, not just traditional OCR. submitted by /u/Hamdi_bks [link] [comments]

  • Help making a table

    Hello all, I just started learning LaTeX today and am having trouble formatting a table the way I would like. I want the items in column 1 to be vertically centered based on the hight of the table, and the items in columns 2 and 3 to be itemizations that start from the top of the table. I'm having issues with columns 1 and 3.

  • Nebula Writer: A desktop LaTeX app with free, fast, and unlimited compilation
    by /u/Glum_Philosopher1079 on February 24, 2026 at 10:14 pm

    Hey r/LaTeX, I'm one of the developers of Nebula Writer, a desktop LaTeX editor we've been building for a while. We're at a point where we think it's ready for this community to tear apart, so here goes. https://preview.redd.it/q1856e4gnilg1.png?width=3024&format=png&auto=webp&s=0bbbe35a283a1179b385f483720b97132658cf20 What it is A native desktop app (macOS + Windows + Linux) for writing LaTeX. The core editor is completely free! How it actually works We wanted to strip away the usual friction that comes with local LaTeX environments. Here’s what the experience looks like: Tectonic is baked right in. You can skip the 6GB TeX Live or MiKTeX installations. Just open the app and start writing; it handles the heavy lifting in the background. The PDF preview stays in sync. It’s a proper split-view setup with SyncTeX support. If you click a spot in the PDF, the editor jumps straight to that line of code. Unlimited free compilation Compilations are fast and free since they run on your machine. It handles the "big project" stuff. Whether you’re managing complex bibliographies with BibTeX or organizing massive documents across multiple files using \input{} or \include{}, it stays snappy. We also built an AI layer specifically designed to troubleshoot. If your document won't compile, it looks at the logs and helps you fix the syntax errors instantly. Why we built it Overleaf's free tier keeps getting worse, and most desktop alternatives either require a massive manual setup or feel like they were designed in the 90s. We wanted something that "just works" out of the box. Download for free: nebulawriter.com Happy to answer any questions about how it works under the hood, how Tectonic handles specific packages, or anything else. And genuinely, if something doesn't work, I want to know! submitted by /u/Glum_Philosopher1079 [link] [comments]

  • appreciating the beauty of latex, so I spent 2 months building this little design side project and wanted to share my craft with you all! 😀

    while most people are for the functionalities, I've always appreciated the beauty of typsetting languages, I always find it so fascinating and i thought that I had to build something beautiful to accomodate the beauty of it and make the colors, syntax highlighting and everything user interacts more smooth and comfortable while typing latex. So I spent about two months just building this as my little design project. I've been using it for a while and enjoying it, wanted to share my progress!

  • River — A Minimal Beamer Theme for Academic Talks
    by /u/SuhRizAQ on February 24, 2026 at 2:39 pm

    I’ve developed a Beamer theme called River, built entirely from scratch around one principle: structure should support thinking, not distract from it. Frame title integrated into the headline, controlled vertical spacing, clean theorem/equation/table boxes, and a shrink-fit figure environment — designed especially for math-heavy and research presentations. No decorative noise. Just clarity, rhythm, and consistency. Would love to hear your thoughts. submitted by /u/SuhRizAQ [link] [comments]

    hi, i'm sorry if this question gets posted a lot, but my case is pretty specific so I hope you can help me. I have already downloaded livetex, and want to download an offline editor that: Is free (mandatory) Compatible with mac (mandatory) Has pdf preview, ideally in split view Has tree structure, ideally in split view as well Has syntax highlights, autocomplete, autocorrect Has shortcuts for inserting images/tables/symbols (preferably) Relatively easy to set up and use, modern GUI I do not care about AI integration Texmaker, Texstudio and Texworks are all blocked by my gatekeeper unfortunately (i don't have admin) Personally I have heard good things about Kile, Texshop, Lyx, Vsc, Texlipse, Texnicle and GNOME latex, but I'm unsure about each of these. submitted by /u/Limp_Illustrator7614 [link] [comments]

    Backstory: I came across a post on LinkedIn about six months ago of a tool(web app) that's an awesome LaTeX editor powered by AI agents; that literally take your prompt and additional docs and generate a whole LaTex file for you and provide different export options. I used it only once but ended up forgetting the name and I have tied looking for it in vain (it's not among the popular or commonly used ones) I couldn't find it with a google search since I don't remember it's name.

  • Experiences with Tectonic as a LaTeX engine?
    by /u/profcube on February 24, 2026 at 7:26 am

    I am evaluating a shift to Tectonic as a Rust-powered LaTeX engine for local composition in Neovim. My work involves both math and TikZ diagrams. First, how reliable is the automated "multiple pass" logic for e.g. resolving complex bibliographies compared to latexmk? Second, have you noticed significant performance gains in the "edit-compile-visualise" loop? Third, has the "just-in-time" package management ever failed to resolve dependencies for obscure libraries? I would appreciate insights from anyone using this minimalist, Rust-centric toolchain that isn’t Typst (no shade, but zero interest in relearning) submitted by /u/profcube [link] [comments]

  • Seeking a "lean" Self-Hosted LaTeX editor: Overleaf CE is too bloated for my Docker/NAS setup
    by /u/aincy91 on February 23, 2026 at 2:41 pm

    Hi everyone, I’m looking for a self-hosted LaTeX environment that is visually polished (similar to Overleaf) but easier to manage. I’ve tried setting up Overleaf Community Edition via Portainer, but I find it extremely frustrating: it’s resource-heavy, requires multiple databases (Mongo/Redis), and the Toolkit script doesn't play nice with custom Docker Compose stacks. My requirements: Docker Compose: Must be easy to deploy and update. NAS Integration: I want to keep all my .tex and project files on a network share (mapped via volumes) rather than inside a database or a hidden Docker volume. Modern UI: Side-by-side PDF preview is a must. Reliability: Something that doesn't break every time a container restarts. What I've considered so far: VS Code (code-server) + LaTeX Workshop: It seems the most solid, but is there a dedicated "LaTeX-first" web editor that is lighter than Overleaf? Texify / TeXite: Are these mature enough for daily use? Has anyone successfully moved away from Overleaf to a more "Docker-friendly" and lightweight setup that still looks good? Thanks for your suggestions! submitted by /u/aincy91 [link] [comments]

  • There are tons of New online LaTex editors and I am Happy.
    by /u/Historical-Belt-5473 on February 22, 2026 at 7:31 pm

    Since, overleaf decreased compilation time limit I was looking for new online editors. I came across Prism previously Crixet it has few reliability issues but than I found few more like Murfy, Texpage and few more in development in these fourm. Is there any more good online editors I don't know about? What are the everyone's view on these sudden boom on online LaTex editors why are they getting so popular now please someone can explain? Also I have texstudio but I use online ones because it has happened me few times that the tex file which compiles on online editors have several errors of copied and compiled on Texstudio. Can anyone explain why is that? Is there any better offline editors? I am not very good at LaTex yet. submitted by /u/Historical-Belt-5473 [link] [comments]

    by /u/JimH10 on January 28, 2018 at 5:40 pm

    Not a mod. But I was hoping to raise awareness that if you post a question that gets an answer then other people also benefit from that exchange. We've all googled a LaTeX question and found an old answer, and been glad it is there. Some people lurk here, picking things up over time. I'm not sure why so many people delete exchanges. There are good reasons to delete things sometimes, but asking for a clarification on a technical point does not seem, at least to me, to be one of them. The only other thing I can think is that those folks think that their question is clogging up the stream. I was hoping with this post to convince them that they are mistaken, and to leave it in place. In particular, if the answerer spends 15 mins on that answer and you delete the question, then you've been not too kind back to the person who was kind to you. submitted by /u/JimH10 [link] [comments]
