LaTeX Tips & Tricks

Continuous compilation

latexmk -pdf -pvc myfile.tex

In neovim, the following command will open up a separate terminal in a small split window to compile the current file: :sp | resize 5 | term latexmk -pdf -pvc %

Best practices

  • Always include usepackage[utf8]{inputenc} within every document.

Convert to Word (why would anyone want to do this??!)

pandoc -s file.tex -o file.docx

If that doesn't work, then try htlatex file.tex, which generates file.html, then open file.html in Word and save as file.docx.
