TeXpresso.vim

Neovim mode for TeXpresso

Installation:

1. Install TeXpresso. If installation is successful, you should have texpresso binary in your PATH.
2. Clone TeXpresso.vim, and make sure it is in Neovim runtime path. For instance:

   $ cd ~/.config/nvim
   $ mkdir start
   $ cd start
   $ git clone https://github.com/let-def/texpresso.vim.git

Usage:

1. Open a .tex file. Launch the viewer: :TeXpresso <path/to/main.tex> (e.g. :TeXpresso % if the current file is the root)
2. The viewer should let you preview the .tex file. It should track your position in the buffer (when the cursor moves), and any change to the buffer should be reflected quickly in the preview window.

TODO:

• report errors/warnings in vim quickfix buffer
• allow customization: theme, cursor synchronizaiton, bindings, stay-on-top, ..
• simplify initialization, respect Neovim conventions, make code more robust

Configuration

The mode can be customized by changing some lua variables.

texpresso_path

You can customize the path to texpresso binary:

:lua require('texpresso').texpresso_path = "/home/.../texpresso/build/texpresso"
