Welcome to the wiki for the LaTeX extension for Zed, the current features include:

• Syntax highlighting
• Bracket pairing
• Outlines
• Language intelligence via texlab
• PDF preview
• spell & grammar checking (use "ltex" Zed extension for that)

All features other than PDF preview should work out of the box, see each corresponding page to see how they should behave and raise an issue on the repository if not. The preview will also work out of the box under certain circumstances, see the corresponding page for details.

Setup

Installing this Zed extension will not install any LaTeX distribution, which is necessary for building LaTeX documents. These can be found here:

• https://tug.org/texlive/
• https://miktex.org/
• https://tug.org/mactex/

One could also build in a docker container as discussed at the end of Build Document.

The language intelligence is provided by texlab which is automatically downloaded (and updated) if not found on PATH. Refer to the texlab page to specify an existing executable instead.
