LaTeX Utilities


An add-on to the vscode extension [LaTeX Workshop](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=James-Yu.latex-workshop) that provides some fancy features that are less vital to the basic experience editing a LaTeX document, but can be rather nice to have.

The feature should continue to expand at a gradually decreasing rate.

Got an idea? Make a PR!



## Features

-   Formatted Pastes

    -   Unicode characters 🡒 LaTeX characters (e.g. `“is this… a test”` 🡒 ` ``is this\ldots a test'' `)

    -   Paste table cells (from spreadsheet programs or similar) 🡒 tabular

    -   Paste images, customisable template

    -   Paste location of CSVs/images to have them included

-   Live Snippets (auto-activating, with regex) [see here](https://github.com/tecosaur/LaTeX-Utilities/wiki/Live-Snippets) for documentation

-   Word count in status bar

-   Zotero citation management

## Documentation

-   See the [wiki](https://github.com/tecosaur/LaTeX-Utilities/wiki)

## Requirements

-   A LaTeX installation in your path

-   The [`texcount`](https://app.uio.no/ifi/texcount/) script (only necessary for the word-count function). Configure using the `latex-utilities.countWord.path` and `latex-utilities.countWord.args` settings.

    - Alternatively, install the `texcount` package from your TeX package manager (e.g., `tlmgr`) if it doesn't come with your TeX distribution.

-   Zotero with the [Better BibTeX extension](https://retorque.re/zotero-better-bibtex/) (only necessary for Zotero

    functions).

## Telemetry

### Why

As a bunch of fancy, but non-essential features, it can be hard to know what features users actually derive value from.

In adding telemetry to this extension I hope to get an idea of this, and inform future development efforts.

It should also be possible to report errors in the background, and so I also hope this extension will be more stable as a result.

At the moment I'm just logging when one of the main features is used.

**TLDR; I want to get around the 1% rule**

### I hate telemetry, go away!

You probably have disabled vscode's `telemetry.enableTelemetry` then, in which case no telemetry is done.
