Kate LaTeX plugin adds 'Run LaTeX' and 'View Output' buttons on the toolbar, enhancing typesetting capabilities.
The Kate LaTeX typesetting plugin is a helpful addition for any Kate user looking to streamline their document creation process. This plugin adds two buttons to the toolbar - "Run LaTeX" and "View Output". The first button initiates the LaTeX process, running BibTeX, MakeIndex, and rerunning LaTeX as needed. The second button conveniently opens the output in the viewer of your choice.
Users can easily modify the paths to the executables in the Settings dialog to personalize their experience. However, to use the Kate LaTeX plugin, you must have Kate and KDE 4.x installed on your system.
Before compiling the plugin, you should adjust any necessary installation paths in the CMakeLists.txt file. Installation is straightforward - all you need to do is execute these commands: mkdir build, cd build, cmake .., make, and sudo make install.
With the latest release of this plugin, a bug has been removed, which previously prevented users from adding or removing tools to the toolbar. Additionally, some crashes have been fixed, and an option has been added to automatically launch the viewer after executing LaTeX. Finally, in CMakeLists.txt the installation paths are now relative to CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX.
All in all, the Kate LaTeX typesetting plugin provides a convenient and user-friendly experience for creating LaTeX documents. Try it out today to make your document creation process even easier!
