I was just earlier today thinking about giving latex a try. good timing
exactly what I was looking for, thank you
Thank you for the video. Fully operational TexMaker working on Manjaro 19.
I installed TeX Live on my D: drive rather than on the default C: drive, and I think this is the reason why I had to manually edit my system's environment variables to add the bin folder to Path. I then checked that everything worked properly by writing "pdflatex --version" on the command prompt.
Awesome! Keep it up!
I have installed exactly like the instruction (I use Vim), but I cannot do the auto-compile by pressing \o as you suggest. What's wrong with me? What's the shortcut in detail?
Thank you.
Do you (or anyone else) know if it is possible to open a pdf file *inside the terminal*, in the same window actually? I'm using tmux with vim and was hoping to split the screen when writing LaTeX into vim & the pdf viewer. That way, I could totally "live" in the terminal, full screen.
I only know of zathura, but I can't seem to find whether it is possible to open in the same (terminal) window where it is launched from. It opens as a background task and blocks the shell that opened it.
Thanks for all the great content!
How do you actually make a tex file TO compile? Do you just do it in text editor and then compile it through terminal, or is there a keyword to type in terminal to run LaTeX (so that you type the commands in the terminal)? Hope this makes sense lol
A great video as always.
Finally I found this. I was all curious about it
How do you install this in vim 8?
Does anyone have a newer version of this setup? I can't get the live preview to work
I noticed your latex post isn't up anymore on your website - is there any reason for that?
Thanks, dude !! working fine
I dont have any prewritten .vimrc how can I create it.
Can you please tell me why it is showing no match argument when I am running sudo dnf install texlive-full. My OS is Fedora!
How to move terminal by keyboard?
looks like your latex link doesn't work anymore :?
I didn't know on which of the LaTeX videos I should ask this question, but I was so motivated by your latex series that i rewrote most of my (almost finished) diploma thesis in latex just to find out that my prof wants it in word for whatever reason and its really difficult to convert the .tex file into a .docx format. I tried pandoc but it doesn't work with the tables and figures. Any suggestions/tips?
sometimes, professors just say that they want in word, but in actual, they are not specific about it, they say word processor 'cz that's the only thing they know is capable of producing such stuff.
and many times, they refrain from saying yes to other things, as that may bring in counter questions from other students. but if you hand them anything that is close enough and like kinda silently/in person, then they'll accept it.
like my prof said to do it in word, but more than half the class handed in pdf.
step 1: Tell your professor to kick rocks
step 2: Join a ska band and pierce your eyebrow
step 3:Use LaTeX to write your song lyrics
step 4:???
step 5:profit
im sry im kind of new, can someone give me their macros for latexsuite for speedier text creation :)??
Hi, I don't find the Vim instructions in your website link in the description. Do you have any detailed tutorials on how to set up Vim as a LaTeX editor?
Same here
luke nowdays how we do that ?
Thank you...
umh, 4:26 why did you remove the "compile latex offline section"
anyways, internet archive got my back (:
I've wanted to move to an offline version of latex for a long long time but it's so god damn phat!
Why is texlive-full 6.5 Gb?? It makes no sense, I just want to put letters on a piece of paper
noo website is down :(
Can't get live-latex-preview to run on nvim using vim plug. I mean the plugin itself appears to be working. It even greets me with the message "see ':help live-latex-etc' for help with the plugin" whenever I open a .tex file. But I can't see the preview at all.
Year i got the same problem. It does not open up the preview windows. Has you found a fix? I'm using void with i3
Kasper Læssø Sørensen I didn’t. I just ended using evince to view the pdf; evince updates it automatically when you compile it. However you have to exit vim and compile every time. I thought this was the sanest, easiest thing I could do considering I am just starting to learn latex, but I’m sure I’ll eventually get tired of doing that.
dude htf I run vim-live-latex-preview?
:LLPStartPreview
What are you using for a browser?
qutebrowser
Did you ever use the latin modern font under arch? If so, did you get it to work?
It works on my Parabola machine. Is it not showing up on yours?
It refuses to compile on fresh installs on two different machines, gives udpmap errors whatever that is. They must have botched the arch texlive package. If you haven't migrated all your arch machines to void I'd really appreciate if you tried to run a hello world mwe on it fam
I'm honestly not sure. I do have an Arch machine, but I won't have access to it for more than a month. You might want to force a reinstall of the font packages.
Are you sure it's just those fonts? Does the document compile successfully with other fonts?
Huh, I had tried using the times font and it worked, so I assumed it was an lmodern specific error. But now that I tried with about 5 different others, none of them work for the exact same reason. Thanks for showing me how much of a dumbass I am at troubleshooting.
Just in case someone else runs into this: the problem was solved by simply reinstalling texlive-core and texlive-most. Thanks again Luke
Thanks for the video. I'm an Overleaf user. Maybe it's to move offline :-)
I know that you've probably have. But do it. It's so good.
@@hexa3389 yes, I use LaTeX with VS Code since last year
When I launch the vim-live-latex preview using MuPDF when going back to VIM it seems like it is stuck doing something. I have to press Ctrl-c on vim to exit the process for it to work normally. Obviously this does not allow for live previewing to work. Do you have any idea what this might be attributed to please? Ubuntu 16.04
Are you sure you have xdotool installed? Otherwise, sounds just like you might have a bad syntax error in LaTeX.
Luke Smith No I do not have the xdotool installed. I'll give it a shot and keep you posted. Thanks for your quick reply.
It worked!!! Thank you so much! :D :D ( I love your channel btw, keep it up! :) )
Great! Thanks!
awesome cheers!
Your link does not work anymore
Hi i tried to test the Live preview but i get an error. i have no idea what to do.
Initial compile...
Error: "function UpdatingToggle[2]..LaunchMuPDF":
Line 18:
Compilation failed; the PDF does not exist.
Live updating preview now ON.
mupdf is installed
I'm new with vim so please use simple words to help me ^^
If there's no .pdf, the problem is that LaTeX isn't succeeding in compiling, which usually means you made some kind of syntax error. Double check everything; you can press \s to see the first compile error, or you can run pdflatex FILENAME manually to get the whole error report.
Luke Smith ok now it's saying Live updating preview now On but there is no preview
if I toggle it with \p the function PDFViewingToogle[4]..LaunchMuPDF is back also compilation failed.
PDFLatex is ok with no errors
Do you have xdotool installed?
Luke Smith yes.
Hmm; then I'm not sure what could be wrong. I would suggest closing vim and deleting the make files from before and trying it fresh again. I'm checking the scripts again, but I believe xdotool and mupdf should be all that's required.
What distro are you using, on the off chance?
Hi Luke. I have seen many videos of yours and every time i wonder what is that thing in which you work on ? is it some sort of terminal ( I don't think so coz u run firefox too on it ) It's kinda looks cool. I have searched on youtube but there is nthing like this :(. Can you tell me what is that ? and it will be great if you make a video on how you made your os to such a wonderful thing. (like video on customizing terminal etc ) and Great thanks for these kinda of video. I really like your contents :)
It's called a timing window manager. You can checkout things like Qtile, Openbox, Xmonad
It's called a tiling window manager. I believe he is using dwm
After I've seen this video I tried installing the live-latex-preview again but It doesn't autocompile the pdf. I've recompiled vim with python3 support to no avail.
I'm not sure what I am doing wrong or I need to configure the wcript.
I'm on debian stretch btw.
Is there an error message?
Do you have xdotool installed? Do you have /home/USER/.vim/bundle/vim-live-latex-preview/bin in your $PATH?
Luke Smith It's all there. I've put the scripts into my ~/bin/ directory which is in my $PATH. would that make a difference?
I don't think so. What's the actual error message you're getting? (Or if there is none, what's it doing?)
Luke Smith It's opening up mupdf, it says preview is on but it just is not updating.
I'll probably try it the way you described later.
Okay, it's probably not a path problem if it successfully launches.
Are you sure you didn't just make a LaTeX syntax error? What does \s show? Can you run `pdflatex` on the .tex file in the terminal and see what comes up? (Might also want to delete the previous build files.)
Your latex link does not work anymore
hey, nice tutorial! considering doing offline LaTeX editing, since I was using overleaf for a couple months now.. also, would you do a video on overleaf?
You clearly don't know Luke very well. The best you could hope for on overleaf is a rant on bloated web apps lol
Where is video
what browser is this?
I think it's qutebrowser
Which terminal is that?
also which distro is that? i liked desktop environment.
@@kursadturkmenoglu9593 Its arch linux ,i3wm and st (suckless terminal)
You can't even imagine, how I, belarusian (language has two cyrillic and one extended latin orthographies) envy you, english folks. Every fucking program supports your language out of the box, it has interface in english and an english manual. What an utopic world you are living in, where everything is in your native language, you damn first world master race.
Anyway, your LaTeX videos are great, thank you
Yeah we invented the Internet, so there’s definitely an advantage when you _invented_ the infrastructure and the hardware it runs on.
Step to install is 404 now, damn, 2021 and i cant learn latex
I gave up on using vim I can't
5:29 Jajajajajjajaja
the link to your website is 404'd
F
ok
Have you seen Kile? He's about this tall...
I recommend Spacemacs, not only for beginners but for you too luke! It's basically vim within emacs... does everything vim does perfectly (not some cheap-ass keybinding magic) plus all the extensible and versatility of emacs. Like they say, emacs is a great O.S was just lacking a better text editor.
Dead link in the description
5:27 "if you have emac, then you are smart enough to be able to look how to install that"
lolol (:
If you have emacs ... yeah ... then you already smart enough to do it
XD
uhh
Why is it that the first thing I thought of was condoms.
no,no,no, i want a tutorial on arch linux .
this is arch linux but with the i3wm
Thank you...
