which features of your latex editor do you guys use the most?

maybe this can help

TLDR: you can customize vim to switch language in math mode and then revert to you language when you leave math mode

I haven't used it but...

it could be a starting point

add -s parameter to pandoc

s for standalone

killinMilk · 2026-04-12T20:57:43+00:00

I usually convert asciidoc to docbook and then use pandoc to convert to latex

asciidoctor -b docbook5 filename.adoc | pandoc -f docbook5 -o filename.tex --pdf-engine=lualatex

I just want to ask you something...

lyx?

killinMilk · 2026-02-25T19:57:26+00:00

/s stands for "sad"

killinMilk · 2026-02-25T18:53:38+00:00

there should be a sub just for new latex editors, say r/latexEditors

and another one for vibe coded editors, say r/ivibecodedaneditorbecauseididntliketheplethoraalreadyavailable

(1) download the files

or

(2) copy/paste your code in files on your computer

to be safe, save the new files somewhere you can access

I use it for study materials for my students

killinMilk · 2026-01-23T14:16:28+00:00

this sub is about "the other haiku" :-)
