Hi there! Hope you find this useful! ✨

This is a LaTeX workflow setup I use to edit my notes. It heavily relies on snippets and custom definitions to streamline the process and make the workflow more efficient.

Roadmap:

• Make a better readme.md.
• Automatically generate a Snippets.md file with all the translations.
• Improve modularity of the setup.
• Simplify the snippet definitions.
• Add support for internationalization (multi-language snippets).
• Integrate a well-defined and modular LaTeX preamble (still undecided).

🌟 Showcase

Here's a quick preview of how the setup looks:

🔥 Usage

Language Customization

This setup is primarily in Spanish, and you'll need to make a few adjustments in three files to translate it into your preferred language. The goal is to eventually support multiple languages, but for now, here's how you can switch it up.

File Structure

In your home directory, create a folder containing the following files:

my-preamble-latex
├── letterfonts.tex
├── macros.tex
└── preamble.tex

Each of these files serves a specific purpose. If you're unsure, you can open them up and check the contents. Just ensure that you're able to compile LaTeX documents after making your changes.

Using the Files in Your LaTeX Document

To integrate these files into your LaTeX project, add the following lines to the preamble of your LaTeX document:

\documentclass{report}

\input{\string ~/my-preamble-latex/preamble.tex}
\input{\string ~/my-preamble-latex/macros.tex}
\input{\string ~/my-preamble-latex/letterfonts.tex}

\begin{document}

...

\end{document}

Note: You can modify the directory structure as you see fit, but make sure you include the files correctly to keep everything working.

Using LuaSnip for Easy LaTeX Editing

One of the key features that makes this workflow efficient is LuaSnip. It's a snippets engine that helps you focus on writing the content of your documents while it handles repetitive boilerplate code. Here's an example of how it can be used:

If you're using Neovim with Lazy.nvim, make sure your file structure under ~/.config/nvim/ is set up correctly. Here's how to integrate LuaSnip into your Neovim setup.

Add the following to your lazy configuration:

return {
  "L3MON4D3/LuaSnip",
  version = "v2.3",
  build = "make install_jsregexp",

  config = function()
    local ls = require("luasnip")

    ls.config.set_config({
      enable_autosnippets = true,
      store_selection_keys = "<Tab>",
      history = true,
      update_events = "TextChanged,TextChangedI",
      region_check_events = "InsertEnter",
      delete_check_events = "InsertLeave",
    })

    -- Lazy-load snippets for given filetypes
    require("luasnip.loaders.from_lua").lazy_load({ paths = "~/.config/nvim/lua/plugins/snippets/" })

    -- Set up key mappings for snippet expansion and jumping
    vim.cmd([[
    " Use Tab to expand and jump through snippets
    imap <silent><expr> <Tab> luasnip#expand_or_jumpable() ? '<Plug>luasnip-expand-or-jump' : '<Tab>' 
    smap <silent><expr> <Tab> luasnip#jumpable(1) ? '<Plug>luasnip-jump-next' : '<Tab>'

    " Use Shift-Tab to jump backwards through snippets
    imap <silent><expr> <S-Tab> luasnip#jumpable(-1) ? '<Plug>luasnip-jump-prev' : '<S-Tab>'
    smap <silent><expr> <S-Tab> luasnip#jumpable(-1) ? '<Plug>luasnip-jump-prev' : '<S-Tab>'
    ]])
  end,
}

Directory Structure for Snippets

Make sure you have your LaTeX snippets organized in ~/.config/nvim/lua/plugins/snippets/. Here's an example structure:

~/.config/nvim/lua/plugins/snippets/
├── snippets
│   └── tex
│       ├── <anything-1>.lua     # LaTeX snippets
│       ├── <...>.lua            # More snippets
│       └── <anything-n>.lua     

You can structure the snippets however you'd like—just keep them organized to help you stay on top of things.
