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
