# tree-sitter-latex

[![CI](https://github.com/latex-lsp/tree-sitter-latex/workflows/CI/badge.svg)](https://github.com/latex-lsp/tree-sitter-latex/actions)

This repo provides a [LaTeX](https://www.latex-project.org/) grammar for the [tree-sitter](https://github.com/tree-sitter/tree-sitter) parser generator.

Originally, this grammar is based off the parser of the [`texlab`](https://github.com/latex-lsp/texlab) language server and primarily focuses on the constructs that are relevant for the language server.

This repository does not provide the accompanying highlighting definitions, instead they live in the [`nvim-treesitter`](https://github.com/nvim-treesitter/nvim-treesitter/tree/master/queries/latex) repository.

To generate the parser, run

```

npx tree-sitter generate

```

after checking out the repository.

## Limitations

As widely known, parsing LaTeX is Turing complete so there is no way to handle every construct in a `tree-sitter` grammar. Instead, the grammar relies on a best effort approach while focusing on the LaTeX specific constructs like environments or sections instead of dealing with TeX internals like catcode.
