Configuration

This document describes the configuration settings that the server will query from the LSP client / extension.


texlab.rootDirectory

Defines the directory from which the source files get compiled. You may need to set this property for multi-folder projects where TexLab fails to detect the root document.

Type: string | null

Default value: null


texlab.build.executable

Defines the executable of the LaTeX build tool.

Type: string

Default value: latexmk


texlab.build.args

Defines additional arguments that are passed to the configured LaTeX build tool. Note that flags and their arguments need to be separate elements in this array. To pass the arguments -foo bar to a build tool, latex.build.args needs to be ["-foo", "bar"]. The placeholder %f will be replaced by the server.

Placeholders:

  • %f: The path of the TeX file to compile.

Type: string[]

Default value: ["-pdf", "-interaction=nonstopmode", "-synctex=1", "%f"]


texlab.build.forwardSearchAfter

Set this property to true if you want to execute a forward search after a build.

Type: boolean

Default value: false


texlab.build.onSave

Set this property to true if you want to compile the project after saving a file.

Type: boolean

Default value: false


texlab.auxDirectory

Defines the directory containing the build artifacts. Note that you need to set the output directory in latex.build.args too, if you want to change the build directory. In this case, use the -outdir flag for latexmk.

Type: string

Default value: . (the same directory as the TeX file)

texlab.forwardSearch.executable

Defines the executable of the PDF previewer. The previewer needs to support SyncTeX.

Type: string | null

Default value: null


texlab.forwardSearch.args

Defines additional arguments that are passed to the configured previewer to perform the forward search. The placeholders %f, %p, %l will be replaced by the server.

Placeholders:

  • %f: The path of the current TeX file.
  • %p: The path of the current PDF file.
  • %l: The current line number.

Type: string[] | null

Default value: null


texlab.chktex.onOpenAndSave

Lint using chktex after opening and saving a file.

Type: boolean

Type: string

Default value: null


texlab.latexindent.modifyLineBreaks
