Latex.sugar

A Sugar for the delicious Espresso text editor to provide syntax highlighting and basic itemizers for LaTeX documents. Supports the Espresso Sugar Standard

Use

Once installed Espresso should automatically recognize your LaTeX files, provided they end in .tex. In addition to syntax highlighting for some common LaTeX features (functions & arguments, comments, (sub)sections, and text formatting, among others!) this Sugar provides itemizers (things that show up in the Navigator pane), simple code completion (for oft-used functions like \cite and \begin{}), and a few useful snippets.

There are textual shortcuts for several of the snippets:

  • Tables Type table[TAB] to open up a basic table environment; you can then type your caption, press tab, and type the reference label immediately. Woohoo!
  • Figures Type figure[TAB] to open up a basic figure environment; you can type the caption, press tab, type the reference label, press tab, and finally type the path to the figure. Woohoo, again!
  • Packages Type use[TAB] followed by the name of a package to insert a \usepackage{foo} line at the cursor.
  • Bibliography Type bib[TAB] followed by the filename of your .bib file to insert a bibliography.

Itemizer support is working now.

Installation

Clone this project somewhere, with the following:

git clone git://github.com/doches/Latex.sugar.git ./Latex.sugar

And then link it to your syntaxes directory:

ln -s "$(pwd)/Latex.sugar" "/Users/$(whoami)/Library/Application Support/Espresso/Sugars/"
