TexLab

A cross-platform implementation of the Language Server Protocol providing rich cross-editing support for the LaTeX typesetting system.

The server is designed to be independent of the editor. We provide a reference implementation for Visual Studio Code.

Getting Started

This project uses Gradle. To compile the server and run the tests execute the following command in the project directory:

$ ./gradlew build

To use the local build with the extension, we recommend creating a symbolic link:

$ ln -s ./../texlab-vscode/server/texlab.jar ./build/libs/texlab.jar
