Most of the contents are compiled from my lecture notes and recommended reading materials, or perhaps from my personal studies and further reading. Citations will be provided wherever necessary.

My main editor is neovim. I have a setup for Sublime Text as well, but I have not updated it in a long while.

Setups

• Class notes
  • Uses tufte-latex with some modifications to how chapter, section and subsection is presented
  • Personalized theorem (& co.) environments through ntheorem and xcolor
  • Uses pdflatex
• Special setup - Japanese notes
  • Mostly the same setup as the above, except that it uses LuaLaTeX for the sake of staying sane while dealing with unicode
• Assignments
  • Standard white background, black foreground
  • Uses pdflatex

LaTeX Template

My commonly used LaTeX templates are saved in setup-nvim/.

For (n)vim users, I am using my own utterly naive plugin that simply grabs my templates and writes them into my buffer, just so that I don't have to perform a cp command every time I create a new document.

For Sublime Text users, copy the appropriate contents from setup-subl and create a new snippet, so that you may fetch the template via Shift + Ctrl/Cmd + p (on macOS). Be sure to have the following in your snippet under scopes.

<scope>text.tex.latex</scope>

Preamble

Use the bootstrap shell script to symlink the .sty files and preambles sitting in tex-common/ to your TEXMFHOME path, as determined by kpsewhich --var-value=TEXMFHOME. Sorry Windows users, bootstrap only works for UNIX-like systems using the POSIX standard.

Snippets

My TeX snippet for nvim is in the tex.snippet and texmath.snippet file, and I use UltiSnip for completion. My autocompletion plugin in coc. coc.nvim requires a non-trivial installation, but I recommend it for the speed because it deals with completion in an asynchronous manner.

My Sublime Text snippet is provided in the file setup-subl/tex.sublime-completions. Put it in your $SUBLIME_PATH/Packages/User/ folder to get it working (a bootstrapping shell script is available in the setup folder).

Other Notes

• gnuplot and minted requires --shell-escape in the compiler.
  • If you use latexmk, then add to a local latexmkrc located in the base directory of the TeX project.

    $pdflatex = 'pdflatex  %O  --shell-escape %S';
    

    Replace pdf with lua if you use lualatex.
• I am looking at llmk, hoping that it'll serve as a more well-documented and simpler LaTeX make program.
