Compiles .tex to .pdf using commands like "pdflatex", at current file
Installed Latex distribution
Programs Like
- Miktex for Windows
- Mactex for OSX
Please note that there is a known issue with MacOSX El Capitan (10.11.x): LaTeX tools are now located in /Library/TeX/texbin instead of /usr/texbin. https://tug.org/mactex/elcapitan.html
- Install Visual Studio Code
- Open
View -> Command Palette... and type ext install latex compile - Restart Visual Studio Code and select the command "
LaTeX: Compile PDF" From the list of files displayed, select a file to open.
You can configure some settings
- Open the PDF after Compile
- Open the log after Error
- Set the LaTeX compiler to be used (pdflatex, xelatex, lualatex)
- Set a main document to always be the compilation target
//Latex Compile Configuration
"latexCompile.openAfterCompile": true,
"latexCompile.openLogAfterError": true,
"latexCompile.compiler": "xelatex"
A few notes...
- This only works if you have a folder opened
- While you technically can set it globally, this should probably be set with workspace options
.vscode/settings.json:
{
"latexCompile.mainFile": "myDoc.tex"
}
