Ah, \(\LaTeX\). I pronounce it as “lay-tech” or “lah-tech”, never “lay-tex”. Every math girl’s dream.
Setup
- MiKTeX for building TeX
- [[VSCode]] as text editor
- I have Strawberry Perl and I think it’s related to LaTeX but I honestly Don’t Remember why
- ah ok I think based on this article, Using Latexmk, you need Perl to run
latexmk, a Perl script, “If you use cross-references, you often have to run LaTeX more than once, if you use BibTeX for your bibliography or if you want to have a glossary you even need to run external programs in-between.”- I have used bibtex so this makes sense
- ah ok I think based on this article, Using Latexmk, you need Perl to run
- [[GitHub]] for any big boy projects or things I want to share
