• Noob here- how to download Latex?

  Usually people recommend miktex for windows https://miktex.org/. Source: 11 months ago

• Need help with ACS bibtex style

  For two, you can resort to its analogue within the KOMA class/bundle. Depending on your locale, this may require some adjustments for the paper format (ISO A4 vs e.g., US letter), but this is quick click in general setup (in case you happen to use MiKTeX, one of the tabs asks you for the format typically used) and in the .tex preamble. Else, achemso works just fine, i.e. In the text you get the number-based... Source: about 1 year ago

• Darkmode broken in Setzer – is it still maintained?

  Or, does the flatpack attempt an installation of a large portion/all of TeXLive? (Aiming for a more granular approach, to fetch only the packages I really want [with optional, yet independent download of the documentation] was a major motivation to move to MikTeX (non-Docker) installation equally running from a a thumb drive, or in Linuxes. This was something in close to 100...200 MB in total as a starter... Source: about 1 year ago

• Darkmode broken in Setzer – is it still maintained?

  On Xubuntu 22.04.1 LTS, I had no problem starting the editor, changing to dark mode, compiling (with pdfLaTeX by with MiXTeX). The suggestions equally show up, just as anticipated, too (screenphoto). The guide to set up an article worked like a charm. Source: about 1 year ago

• LaTeX as a replacement for MS Word

  Texdoc comes with TeXLive only. With MiKTeX (which equally works well in Linux as in Windows, and from a thumb drive), you select the packages (or their documentation, or both) of interest for download. A double click opens the .pdf (screenshot). Source: over 1 year ago

• Is there an alternative to learning Latex for publishing research papers?

  You can use LyX. LyX self-describes as a What You See is What You Mean editor, basically a fully graphical editor for writing LaTeX. Source: 12 months ago

• Math and Science People: How do you write equations / proofs?

  Directly typing LaTeX gets unwieldy for longer and more complicated expressions, so I write those in LyX first and then copy-and-paste the LaTeX code into Obsidian. Source: about 1 year ago

• VSCode vs Texifier (formerly texpad)

  I like LyX. It's not for everyone, but damn it can be effective. Source: over 1 year ago

• Best offline editor/compiler

  An upopular opinion perhaps, but I'm a huge fan of the WYSIWYM editor LyX. Source: over 1 year ago

• Adding custom words to the dictionary LINUX

  I don't think LyX devs will notice your point here, alas. You could consider writing an email to the devs email list found on lyx.org. Source: over 1 year ago
