TexLab is a Language Server Protocol implementation for LaTeX written in Rust, providing rich editing support (completion, diagnostics, building) in any LSP-capable editor. It ships precompiled binaries for Windows, Linux, and macOS and can compile documents via TeX distributions or Tectonic.
Use cases
- get LaTeX autocompletion in VS Code or Neovim
- set up a language server for editing LaTeX files
- compile LaTeX documents from my editor
- add BibTeX citation completion to my editor
- editor-agnostic LaTeX IDE features
When to choose
- you edit LaTeX in any LSP-compatible editor and want completion, diagnostics, and build integration
- you want a cross-platform LaTeX language server with prebuilt binaries
When to avoid
- you need a full LaTeX IDE rather than an editor-integrated language server
- you cannot install a TeX distribution or Tectonic and need document compilation
