Getting Started

Prerequisites

A Nix flake provides all required tooling. With direnv installed, the dev shell activates automatically when you cd into the project:

direnv allow   # first time only

Or enter the shell manually:

nix develop

This gives you:

• TeX Live (pdflatex, latexmk) with the required packages
• tex-fmt for formatting .tex files on save

Building

latexmk -pdf main.tex

Editing

Use VSCode with the recommended extensions (prompted on first open, or install via the Extensions panel):

• LaTeX Workshop — live PDF preview and tex-fmt format on save
• direnv — automatically loads the Nix dev shell so VSCode tooling finds latexmk, pdflatex, and tex-fmt
