Knurl is a small native macOS app (SwiftUI, Universal arm64+x86_64, macOS 15+) for anyone who writes LaTeX on a Mac. Point it at a .tex project and it maps every \usepackage to the correct TeX Live package, shows what's missing, and installs it through tlmgr — only prompting for admin rights when a system-wide install actually requires it. - Detects missing TeX Live / BasicTeX and can install BasicTeX - Glass/modern Sequoia UI, drag-and-drop, live log - Free, MIT, source on GitHub Site : https://gilsonolegario.github.io/knurl Repo: https://github.com/gilsonolegario/knurl Note: signed with a personal free Apple ID, not notarized, so first launch needs the usual right-click → Open (or xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine).

I am making a document class for a ttrpg game, but the example file is starting to get a little slow to compile. I know there are some ways to speed up compilation on the user end, but is there anything else I can do to make it faster by default? Currently, I have split the project up into several packages which are loaded by the document class depending on the options passed into it. I fear the slow compilation times are due to using quite a few custom tcolorbox styles and icons defined by TikZ. submitted by /u/teawizardry [link] [comments]

texLite is a lightweight, local-first web workspace for writing, compiling, previewing, and discussing LaTeX documents. It is intended for a small group of trusted users on one server. It uses the LaTeX installation already available on the host instead of shipping a LaTeX container, and keeps the rest of the stack deliberately small. https://github.com/SWUFE-DB-Group/TexLite submitted by /u/pualchen [link] [comments]

I recreated my hardcopy of the ESV Study Bible (for personal use only, observing all copyright protection and fair use to be legal) of all of it's nearly 3000 pages. I learned LaTex as I went! Features: hyperlink navigation system includes all charts (which I redrew with tiki functions) and images. I even added the images that spanned two pages onto a single landscape view includes all margin references, which are hyperlinked included all footnotes, with a color coded template included a topical concordance, with a colored tempate of entries, hyperlinked back to the verse. This was an amazing project ... I used python to reformat three raw text streams: the margin references, the main text, and the commentary. I made a private youtube video a few months before it was complete, where most of the progress is shown in the link below. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A7Su4eJp1DY&t=1704s submitted by /u/Richiwalt [link] [comments]

I'm fairly new to LaTeX and have been looking into different options for collaborative writing. Overleaf seems to be the obvious choice, but one of the reasons I started looking around is the cost once you need more than the free plan offers. I'm curious whether there are good alternatives, particularly for university projects, theses and research. So far I've come across: Overleaf Easy to get started Good real-time collaboration Large community and lots of documentation Well-established workflow Can get relatively expensive depending on your needs Inscrive Browser-based collaborative LaTeX editor Unlimited collaborators Integrations with reference managers and GitHub Real-time collaboration EU-hosted with EU sovereign cloud infrastructure (I do like the idea of supporting European alternatives) The free plan seems to offer a lot of value, including unlimited collaborators Pro plan is €7/month CoCalc LaTeX combined with programming and other technical tools Good for collaborative and technical projects Built-in version history Useful for reproducible research with code, data and LaTeX in the same environment Seems more complex if you only need LaTeX Local LaTeX + Git Full control and proper version control No dependency on a hosted platform Complete project history and easy rollback to previous versions Each collaborator has a full copy of the repository and its history Works well with different editors and custom workflows More setup and a steeper learning curve for collaboration I'm sure there are plenty of options I'm missing. For people who use LaTeX regularly: What do you use for collaborative projects, and why? I'm particularly interested in the trade-offs around price, ease of use, collaboration, version control, bibliography management, reliability, data integrity and privacy/data hosting. Are there any tools or workflows you would recommend to someone starting today? And what alternatives should I be looking at that aren't on this list? I'm mainly trying to get a feel for what's actually out there, including the downsides. I don't necessarily expect there to be one "best" solution. submitted by /u/h4d0t3ch [link] [comments]

Hi everyone! (PS.: using AI to translate) I'm writing an academic report in LaTeX using abntex2cite for ABNT-style references and hyperref for PDF links. I'm using author-year citations: \usepackage[alf]{abntex2cite} For example: \cite{linden2008} correctly produces: The problem is with hyperref: the citations appear with colored boxes around them. I would like to remove the colored boxes visually while keeping the citations clickable, so that clicking on (LINDEN, 2008) in the PDF still takes me to the corresponding reference. I tried: \usepackage[hidelinks]{hyperref} but in my document the citations apparently stop working as clickable links. I also tried: \usepackage[ colorlinks=true, linkcolor=black, citecolor=black, urlcolor=black ]{hyperref} but I'm still having issues with the interaction between abntex2cite and hyperref. What is the correct way to configure these two packages so that I can have: author-year citations in the format (AUTHOR, year); clickable citations in the PDF; no colored boxes around the citations; references formatted according to ABNT? Thanks! submitted by /u/Dry-Risk6758 [link] [comments]

Compiler settings: pdfLaTeX, 2026 TeX Live, Compile mode normal Changing the compiler doesn't solve the issue. Changing the TeX Live version to 2020 (legacy) DOES solve the issue. Higher versions are all broken, and i need a recent one for some packages. The code: \documentclass{beamer} \usepackage{graphicx} \usetheme{Madrid} \title{test} \author{Noé } \date{August 2026} \begin{document} \maketitle \section{Introduction} \begin{frame}{Test} \begin{block}{Test block} This is a test block \end{block} \end{frame} \end{document} EDIT: it was indeed a viewer issue. Changing to "Brower" pdf viewer in the editor settings fixed it. Alternatively, i you want to keep the Overleaf viewer, \useinnertheme{tcolorbox} worked fine. Thanks to u/samcarter8 for pinpointing the issue. submitted by /u/NoeXWolf [link] [comments]

The usual take here is that LLMs are still shaky at LaTeX, and with citations that's mostly true. ask one to add references and half the \cite keys aren't even in your .bib, or a \ref points at a label it never wrote. but the writing quality isn't what's cost me the most time lately, the debugging is. when an agent and I are both in the same file and the build dies, I can't tell whose line broke it. a stray missing brace or a missing .sty could be my preamble or its last edit, and the log just hands me a line number, not a blame. so I re-read the whole diff by hand, which eats whatever time the agent saved. what I keep wishing for is a compiler that knows who caused the break: quietly self-heal the agent's own mess, only flag the errors I actually introduced. do you let an agent near your preamble, or is that the one file you keep to yourself? submitted by /u/Deep_Ad1959 [link] [comments]

I'm not very experienced in coding and found (source: https://texblog.org/2015/09/30/fancy-boxes-for-theorem-lemma-and-proof-with-mdframed/) some code to make boxes in latex.

Another update on my C++ hobby engine (and thanks for the positive feedback on the previous update). The project hit an exciting milestone: the engine now passes the test suite for the e-TeX extensions! To celebrate, the latest video steps back to look at TeX's testing philosophy. TeX is famously one of the most bug-free pieces of complex software ever written, and I wanted to think about how I could learn from Knuth's approach. The video explores the "diabolical" ~450-line trip.tex file (which acts like a kind of golden master snapshot test... while also looking like a handwritten, unhappy-path fuzz test?), and what a code coverage report looks like when you run a small 1980s test file against a 40,000-line C++ codebase. Because passing the e-TeX test suite means the project is getting quite close to actually being able to process modern LaTeX documents, I am starting to think very hard about open-source licenses. Between Knuth's "naming + trip-test" approach to avoiding engine fragmentation, and the fact that web2c has kept modern engines in the GPL ecosystem, I think a copyleft license probably makes sense here. I'm leaning towards maybe AGPL or EUPL, but I'm not a lawyer and haven't spent a lot of time on the nuances. I know licensing can be a contentious topic, but I want to get this right and would love to hear what the community thinks about the tradeoffs of these and other licenses for a project like this. I'd also love to hear your thoughts on some of the testing philosophy questions mentioned in the video! For those who want to poke around the test scaffolding or the build system, the link to the orphan branch of the engine's future home is here. submitted by /u/DanielSussman [link] [comments]

Hello all I am currently bashing my head in trying to get Asymptote to work and was hoping someone could offer some much needed help. To start : I'm using TeXstudio at the moment along with MiKTeX to handle my packages. I'm trying to include two .obj files in my pdf, but whenever I try to compile and create my pdf, either using TeXstudio or Powershell, it starts the process but never finishes it as it simply "gets stuck". When I try to work around it and simply build my Report.tex file, it mostly works as expected and produces the required Report-1.asy file. I know that to fully create the end pdf I need to run the Report-1.asy file. However, when doing this from Powershell the process starts and never finishes. I assume this is also why doing it in TeXstudio doesn't work. I've double checked my installations, required packages, .obj files and code and have no idea what is going wrong. I would greatly appreciate some help in this, as being able to include these files will go a long way in my report. Lastly, as an aside, I've read bits here and there that people are able to view the pdf with the interactable 3D model in both TeXstudio and Okular. How does one go about setting this up? submitted by /u/supremeNYA [link] [comments]

Most LaTeX apps on Android are either abandoned wrappers that require gigabytes of TeX Live downloads or web editors that lock features behind subscriptions and fail without internet. I built Preamble to have a native, offline editor designed for phones. How it works: - The backend runs Tectonic (XeTeX) locally through Rust and the Android NDK, caching packages on demand instead of bundling a full TeX Live install. - Compilation errors are parsed into a bottom sheet that shows the line number and the specific message instead of dumping raw console logs. - The app includes an outline view to jump directly between document sections. - The interface uses Jetpack Compose with Material 3 dynamic colors and themes. - Priced as a $12 one-time purchase without any subscriptions or ads. The attached clip shows a quick run compiling math formulas offline on a phone. I have 15 Google Play promo codes for full access. Leave a comment with the packages or types of documents you typically write, and I will DM you a code. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tag.preamble submitted by /u/0aux [link] [comments]

Biber 2.22 now runs in WASM in BusyTeX/TeXlyre. Most of the Biber porting to WASM was AI-assisted/generated. However, getting it to work was hellish, given that almost every LLM tries to shelf this as impractical or extremely difficult to do, but being stubborn (or naïve) I kept trying anyway. WebPerl has already compiled Perl to WASM, but Biber could not run within it, since WebPerl disables dynamic loading, while Biber depends on a number of XS modules (Perl modules containing native code). These usually gets compiled and loaded by Perl during install, but for WASM, they instead have to be cross-compiled and linked into Perl. The build uses a native Perl to generate the XS C sources, then compiles them with the wasm32 Perl and links the native dependencies statically. This was already discussed by "Vadim Kantorov, the original BusyTeX author, in 2020". He considered "perlcc" and WebPerl and got as far as investigating and attempting a fully static Perl/Biber dependency build, but it did not result in a working Biber WASM build as far as I can tell. There was also a "recent r/LaTeX post running Biber in the browser with CheerpX". CheerpX runs the existing x86/Linux Biber through its WebVM backend. Instead, this buil compiles Perl and Biber's native dependencies to wasm32 directly, so Biber runs as part of the WASM LaTeX compilation without a full x86/Linux runtime in the browser. You can try it out in r/TeXlyre or using the Biber demo on https://texlyre.github.io/texlyre-busytex submitted by /u/fabawi [link] [comments]

Hi all, I'm testing/benchmarking a few LaTeX formatting tools — latexindent, tex-fmt, and badness. I'm specifically looking for: Full .tex source (not just compiled PDFs) for math or physics papers/books/lecture notes. Ideally longer or more complex documents (nested environments, big equation blocks, tikz, tables, etc.). In particular, the compiled PDF should be at least 500 pages. Many thanks! submitted by /u/DungAkira [link] [comments]

Hi everyone! I’ve been working with Overleaf and LaTeX and am looking to take on a few small resume/CV projects to build my practical experience. I can help with: Creating a resume from existing information Converting a Word/PDF resume into an editable LaTeX/Overleaf version Fixing LaTeX/Overleaf formatting issues Improving spacing, alignment, typography, and overall layout Creating a clean, professional CV Adjusting formatting for a particular job or industry Providing the editable LaTeX source If you already have a resume but feel that the formatting or layout could be improved, I’d be happy to work with the information you already have. I’m currently looking to build my portfolio through a few real-world projects, so I’m keeping the scope flexible. I can also share examples of my previous work privately if you’d like to see them. submitted by /u/Unique-Violinist6952 [link] [comments]

Hi everyone, I’m trying to understand a font-rendering difference between two PDFs generated from LaTeX (modern class notes - https://ctan.org/pkg/modernclassnotes) https://preview.redd.it/ubzbv9ezspkh1.png?width=1892&format=png&auto=webp&s=9d00e34b966613ed500661e53c8bef2860243938 The PDF on the left is the original PDF I downloaded from the original package. The PDF on the right is generated by me locally from the LaTeX source. The source produces essentially the same layout and content, but the text rendering looks noticeably different. I actually prefer the appearance of the original PDF: the text looks softer, lighter, and slightly less sharp. My locally compiled version looks darker and more pronounced. I ran pdffonts on both PDFs and found a very interesting difference. Original PDF (left): https://preview.redd.it/99espguotpkh1.png?width=1128&format=png&auto=webp&s=ca3f2dbbce6fb71bc10d7fc64b72f29a167af910 My locally compiled PDF (right): https://preview.redd.it/qc6glhlstpkh1.png?width=1117&format=png&auto=webp&s=3b82020b38770ba128136a0ee45b9a85df7a5849 So the original downloaded PDF uses Type 3 fonts, while my locally generated PDF uses Type 1 Latin Modern fonts. I don't know how the original PDF was compiled. I only have the distributed PDF, not the original build environment. My questions are: Could the use of Type 3 fonts explain why the original PDF looks softer/lighter? What LaTeX compilation workflow would typically produce this kind of Type 3 output? Could this be related to an older TeX distribution, DVI --> PS --> PDF workflow, bitmap fonts, or dvips? If I want to intentionally reproduce the appearance of the original PDF, what would be the correct approach? Is there a way to reproduce the same visual appearance while still using modern vector fonts? I'm currently using TeXstudio for editing/compiling the source. I’m not necessarily looking for a recommendation to make the PDF "better" - I actually like the softer appearance of the original and would like to understand and reproduce it.

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]
