Enhancements for LaTeX on top of tufte-handout, optimised for note taking and everyday use.
aka how to create non-shitty looking LaTeX documents, fast.
Other than the needed packages listed with \RequirePackage, this will also probably not work unless you're using the tufte-handout document class.
Put lessmoist.sty into ~/Library/texmf/tex/latex... or wherever you're supposed to put your custom LaTeX packages into on your system.
As requested, here are instructions on how to have LaTeX wrapped around your little finger, all day every day.
lessmoist.sty is not required in order to have hot-reloading enabled.
Warning: these instructions are in beta; I might have completely forgotten to mention some vital step. Create an issue or shoot me a note if that happens.
Make sure you have latexmk installed. latexmk auto-builds your LaTeX for you whenever you touch any of your source documents.
Install also Skim. Skim auto-reloads whenever it sees that your pdf has been updated. (I'm looking at you, Apple Preview)
Recommended but not essential: Sublime Text
Put this in your ~/.bashrc file
function texset()
{
open $1
latexmk -pdf -pvc -quiet $1
}
Now, to start the auto-build process, simply type
texset filename.tex
Feel free to change texset to an alias of your choosing.
Assuming you're using Skim, your view of the pdf will now auto-update every time you press save in your text editor.
While working with LaTeX, I like to use Split View so that I have the raw on the left, and the pdf on the right.
Happy LaTeXing!
