I have tried many #LaTeX editors, both online and offline (almost all of them). now, I am testing #aquamacs with the #auctex plugin... so far is my favourite one

Folks who use #emacs to make PDFs do you prefer #auctex or #orgmode and export to latex?

I didn't find proper steps to integrate AUCTeX with Borg, so here we go:

#emacs #latex #auctex

I've written a new package for emacs that allows one to input latex tikz/pgf objects through mouse-based clicks. So far it also allows translations & rotations of such objects, more to come.

My main motivation was that I felt my working speed with making latex-beamer presentations was really affected by the number of write-compile-check iterations I had to do each time I was including something using tikz in my slides.

Do check out the package and I will appreciate any feedback! :)

P.S.: This is my very first post on Mastodon - I discovered Mastodon through a @daviwil video!

@BigEatie I used to prefer #AUCTeX, but switched to org-mode.

I've written my Master's Thesis in Org Mode, and yeah, there are a bunch of export blocks which are mosly pseudocode and FloatBarriers... A lot of ATTR_LATEX directives.

Also, the entirety of my preamble is a bunch of .sty files which I copy from project to project.

But in my opinion it's quite usable.

@BigEatie I do both: AucTeX when I'm writing papers (because of the need to interact with specific style files), Org mode direct to PDF for printing notes to share #Emacs #LaTeX #AucTeX

#Emacs and #Latex users: do you find it easier to use #orgmode and export to latex or use something like #auctex? I'm trying to go the orgmode and export route but finding quite a bit of friction any time I want to go off the beaten path, and I have a lot of #+Export latex throughout my org file. I wonder if this is just a lack of experience on my part with the org to latex workflow, or if the workflow really is harder than writing #tex directly.

Which workflow do you prefer?

@at #AucTeX is the main reason I keep using #emacs. I find every other #LaTeX editing environment to be tedious for me to use.

Of course, in seriousness, I know that different workflows work for different people. I just like mine.

I've heard that some people edit #LaTeX without #AucTeX, and I've also heard that some people eat green salad with spoons.

Using #auctex in #emacs, I can use C-c C-e to insert an environment. If I choose "equation", the environment together with a label is inserted:

\begin{equation}
\label{eq:1}
\end{equation}

I know that I can define new environments using LaTeX-add-environments, and for example, after (LaTeX-add-environments '("definition")), this environment is offered in completion. But what else do I need in order for a label such as \label{def:1} to be inserted?

#TeXLaTeΧ

@pgrepds
Indeed. Something like in last version of #python with an arrow pointing to the error would definitely help. I wish also there would at least be a mode in #emacs to color a latex log file, and help localize useful information. And #Auctex mode doesn't help for reading it. For now, I'm just searching the exclamation mark.

@hirnbloggade @bgcarlisle Not much academic writing here, but I usually write in Org-mode. I export to #LaTeX, and then finish work in #AUCTeX + #BibTeX + #RefTeX. I sometimes use ebib.el for bibliographies, but lately I've been using #kbibtex for that.

For focused writing, I love #darkroom mode (other people prefer #olivetti mode).

Gotta update my resume for class. Don't have the withwerall to re-do it in Word. So, here we go...

Setting up #SyncTeX was one of the best decisions I've made for #LaTeX development. It was a walk in the park with #Zathura and #AUCTeX.
