sanjib-sen / weblatex Goto Github PK

I have been looking for alternatives to Overleaf and found this interesting project.

I used this repository as a template a few times to try it out, but every time I open the compiled PDF of the sample LaTeX file, I get a blank PDF viewer window. The details are as follows.

1. The sample LaTeX file compiles successfully.
2. When I click on the PDF, a new tab is opened to authenticate the port. The tab does not show anything after the initial load and remains open.
3. After a few seconds, a demo.PDF opens in the editor window but does not show the contents of the PDF.

Has anyone experienced this issue and knows how to resolve it?

I am running Firefox 111.0 in macOS Ventura 13.2.1.

I found out about this project a little while ago and I'm considering using it as a replacement for Overleaf for a project I'm working on. My colleague has experience using LaTeX on the platform but the two of us are struggling to make the UI easier to use. I have a couple of issues that I'm trying to resolve here and I'm curious about how to fix them:

• When using VSCode on my computer for this Codespace, hitting Ctrl + S doesn't generate a PDF and place it on the side of my editor
• All of my files end up using some resources from preamble.sty and I want to place the file in one folder and access it in each subfolder without copying and pasting the file to each Unit X Assignments folder. Is this possible?
• This isn't too big of a deal but is there a way to get rid of the other files used while building the PDF to make things cleaner?

The project's available at mrgarbagegamer/GEL if you can take a look; I like the features and collaborative abilities of WebLaTeX but I'm having trouble just simplifying things so we can easily use it for our purpose.

Hello. This is a great piece of work. Thank you for all your work.

Do you think it would be possible to have a self-hosted version?

Problem:
Facing Errors While Uploading Overleaf Project

Request:
Provide a Template for Overleaf Project Porting

Details:
I am encountering difficulties when trying to migrate an Overleaf project to my local environment and build the .tex file. I believe having a template for this process would be incredibly beneficial.

Overleaf Template:
Deedy CV Template

Additional Information:
I'm looking for assistance in successfully transferring an Overleaf project to my local setup. Having a template or step-by-step guide would greatly aid in resolving the errors I'm encountering during this process.

Under MIT, am I "technically" required to include the MIT License on anything written using the WebLaTex template?
Nothing against MIT, but it seems awkward to inherent a license just for writing from this template.
Consider switching to CC0 License https://creativecommons.org/share-your-work/public-domain/cc0/

Hi,
Thank you so much for your work. Very useful. So, to compile the PDF document from latex codes, do we need to install a local TexLive or the codespace work similar to overleaf?

Many thanks,
Thang

I've never worked with devcontainer before, but is it possible to convert it to a docker image?
I don't want to pay for githubs workspace while already having servers that can do it.

I tried doing an similar approach with codeserver which didn't quite work as expected, therefore I'm curious.

Whenever I do:

root@codespaces:/workspaces/username# tlmgr install resume

I cannot install packages:

tlmgr: Local TeX Live (2021) is older than remote repository (2023).
Cross release updates are only supported with
  update-tlmgr-latest(.sh/.exe) --update
See https://tug.org/texlive/upgrade.html for details.

@sanjib-sen,
WebLaTex is pretty cool. Consider submitting an article to TUGboat. It wouldn't need to be long.

• https://tug.org/
• https://tug.org/TUGboat/location.html

Other venues might be interested as well. With your permission and collaboration, I'm considering doing a lightning demo at SciPy or any scientific computing conference.

Usage of latex-workshop.latex.watch.delay is deprecated as mentioned here.

I'm a newbie with codespace, so this is likely to be something very simple.

When I try to install WebLaTeX as a template in my own Git account, I get errors that I don't have copilot:

Can you advise?

Hello,

is there a way to sync and view with, lets say, sumatraPDF in windows?
