Texlab Alternatives

texlab reviews and mentions

• Is there any way to use Helix for juypter notebooks !
  1 project | /r/HelixEditor | 9 May 2023

  Helix defaults to texlab so try that?

• emacs-29 and eglot inlay hints?
  1 project | /r/emacs | 1 Mar 2023

  This is overly verbose and redundant, therefore I disabled eglot-inlay-hints mode in LaTeX and opened and issue: https://github.com/latex-lsp/texlab/issues/858

• UnTeX - Parsing and formatting TeX documents with Rust - Looking for help
  6 projects | /r/rust | 27 Jan 2023

  I have a very limited understanding of Parsing but I would assume that Latex Language Servers have to implement similar parsing too? So maybe check out TexLab. It’s implemented in Rust so maybe it’s an interesting reference.

• Is there any way to get a wordcount from an LSP?
  1 project | /r/neovim | 19 Jan 2023

  Is it possible to get a wordcount for LaTeX documents from an LSP like ltex-ls or texlab?

• Texlab LSP server crashes on launch

  If you’re still stuck you can try reporting an issue here or look for ones similar to yours: https://github.com/latex-lsp/texlab

• Overleaf makes me mad and TeXstudio is superior
  3 projects | /r/LaTeX | 25 Oct 2022

  If you use emacs, I recommend to get some modern goodness by installing lsp-mode (or eglot) to interact with language servers and then install a latex language servers like texlab. This in my expericence really improved the autocompletion so I don't feel like I loose anything over using vscode, texlab or overleaf .Recently I also switched to lsp-ltex for language-tool integration. All those tools lsp servers can also be used from other editors with lsp support, so use what you prefer. I would only recommend emacs to those who want a fully customized and keyboard driven experience and are not afraid to eventually modify some lisp code. But it has its unique advantages, many editing tools and in addition to the still great auctex also cdlatex for super quick math typesetting.

• Is there a way to continuously update the PDF file while using on Emacs?

  you can use https://github.com/latex-lsp/texlab

• Most straightforward installation of LaTeX in VSCode
  6 projects | /r/LaTeX | 9 Sep 2022
• Ask HN: What LaTeX editor do you use?
  3 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 26 Aug 2022

  I use overleaf these days mostly because overleaf makes it effortless to work across multiple machines. I still have my neovim + texlab [1] setup just in case though.

• pantran.nvim: asynchronous, interactive machine translation directly from your editor
  8 projects | /r/neovim | 6 Jul 2022

  Story time: I really love Neovim for programming, but one thing I love it even more for is scientific writing. Tools like texlab make this especially fun! But for a well-rounded experience, I need a few more things: (i) Grammar checking. For that I can recommend ltex, an LSP-server which adds LaTeX support to language tool. (ii) Thesaurus lookup. (Neo)vims integrated thesaurus format is a little bit limited. But thankfully 'thesaurusfunc' exists so I could easily write a small plugin to add support for openoffice.org mythes thesauri. (iii) Machine translation. Now we're finally getting to the topic of this post. I write most of my stuff in English but I'm not a native speaker, so machine translation is valuable for me. It can help me to overcome writers block to an extent, for example. There already exist a few plugins for that problem, like vim-translator or translate.nvim. But none of these support interactive modes, a slick UI, and, as far as I know, useful things like motions and counts. This is where my plugin pantran.nvim comes into place! The demo should speak for itself. In the end it was a lot more effort than I anticipated but I'm very pleased with the result. I hope this can be useful to others as well!
