LateXTools: A LaTeX Plugin for Sublime Text 2 and 3

by Ian Bacher, Marciano Siniscalchi, and Richard Stein

Marciano's blog: http://tekonomist.wordpress.com

Documentation: https://latextools.readthedocs.io

Latest revision: v3.14.1 (2017-06-01).

Package Control

Headline features:

  • Documentation migrated to ReadTheDocs (https://latextools.readthedocs.io)
  • Support for the import package
  • TOC quickpanel now shows just the current document when using (C-r)
  • Uses analysis for ref / cite commands and better caching
  • Improved fill all completions for large files
  • %!TEX directives now override settings in all circumstances

Prereleases

LaTeXTools uses pre-releases to beta test new features and improve the stability of releases. If you also want to get the newest features and help us testing them. Just open Preferences > Package Settings > Package Control > Settings - User and insert at a reasonable (correct JSON syntax) position:

    "install_prereleases": ["LaTeXTools"],

If you also use prereleases of other packages just add them comma separated into the list.

Overview

This plugin provides several features that simplify working with LaTeX files:

  • The ST build command takes care of compiling your LaTeX source to PDF using texify (Windows/MikTeX) or latexmk (OSX/MacTeX, Windows/TeXlive, Linux/TeXlive). Then, it parses the log file and lists errors and warning. Finally, it launches the PDF viewer and, on supported viewers (Sumatra PDF on Windows, Skim on OSX, and Evince on Linux by default) jumps to the current cursor position.
  • Forward and inverse search with the named PDF previewers is fully supported
  • Fill everything including references, citations, packages, graphics, figures, etc.
  • Plugs into the "Goto anything" facility to make jumping to any section or label in your LaTeX file(s)
  • Smart command completion for a variety of text and math commands
  • Additional snippets and commands are also provided
  • Fully customizable build command
  • Fully customizable PDF viewers
  • Full support for project files and multi-file documents
  • Easily view package documentation
  • Word counts

Requirements and Setup

The easiest way to install LaTeXTools is via Package Control. See the Package Control installation instructions for details on how to set it up (it's very easy.) Once you have Package Control up and running, invoke it (via the Command Palette from the Tools menu, or from Preferences), select the Install Package command, and find LaTeXTools.

If you prefer a more hands-on approach, you can always clone the git repository, or else just grab this plugin's .zip file from GitHub and extract it to your Packages directory (you can open it easily from ST, by clicking on Preferences > Browse Packages). Then, (re)launch ST. Please note that if you do a manual installation, the Package must be named LaTeXTools.

Finally, you'll need to have a working TeX installation and a PDF viewer. LaTeXTools supports MacTeX, MiKTeX and TeXLive as TeX systems and Skim, Sumatra PDF, Evince, Okular, and Zathura as PDF viewers. For detailed instructions on how to set these up, please see our online documentation!
