A simple package for Atom that compiles LaTeX files by invoking latexmk.
Use the Atom package manager and search for "latex", or run apm install latex
from the command line.
Invoke the build command by pressing the default keybind ctrl-alt-b while in
a .tex file.
Please note that this package is in a beta state. Right now everything is very naïve. As an example, there's no real error handling; the package merely prints an error message to the console indicating that an error occurred during the build, and to check the log file manually...
The package is currently hardcoded to typeset using pdfTeX. This will be configurable in a future release.
Current wish list, in a semi-prioritized order.
- Progress indicator.
- Build output.
- Error handling.
- Warnings, and other non-critical messages.
- BibTeX autocompletion support.
- Open PDF automatically.
- Configurable.
- Support for other distributions, besides OS X.
- Support for compilers other than latexmk.
- Add support for non-PDF typesetting (e.g. dvi).
- Project management.
- Setting to override the output directory.
- Setting to override the builder.
