LaTeX workshop

LaTeX Workshop is an extension to handle LaTeX documents.

Auto-formatting tables

Tables can be formatted using the latexindent Perl scripts. It's recommended to test it in the command line and fix missing dependencies. On Ubuntu 18.04, these were sufficient:

sudo cpan Unicode::GCString 
sudo cpan App::cpanminus
sudo cpan YAML::Tiny
sudo perl -MCPAN -e 'install "File::HomeDir"'
sudo cpan -fi Log::Log4perl #-fi might not be required?
sudo cpan Log::Dispatch
sudo cpan -fi File::HomeDir #-fi might not be required?
sudo cpan Log::Dispatch::File #?

On Fedora 32, this feature worked out-of-the-box with texlive-scheme-full installed.

See this issue for installation on other platforms.

Cannot run Python files

Problem:

  • Running the file using the play button stalls
  • Using the "Run python file in terminal" command results in error "The active file is not a Python source file"

Solution: Go to Settings (Ctrl+,), and check whether the terminal is configured correctly. For me, the problem was caused by the "terminal.integrated.inheritEnv": false setting. According to Stack Overflow, the terminal.integrated.shell.* properties are also suspicious.

Set Terminal font

Go to Settings (Ctrl+,), and set the Terminal | Integrated: Font Family key to e.g. Inconsolata-dz for Powerline. Alternatively, add the following entry to the settings.json file:

"terminal.integrated.fontFamily": "Inconsolata-dz for Powerline"
