💖 LATEXILA — the manual page, but make it cute 💖

okay so bestie, you've stumbled into the latexila(1) man page — that's a User commands situation, section 1, the whole vibe. Sit down, grab a boba, we're doing this. 🧋✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

latexila — Integrated LaTeX Environment for the GNOME Desktop 🦋

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

latexila [OPTIONS] [FILES]

latexila {-h | --help | --help-all | --help-gtk}

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

This manual page documents briefly the latexila command. Like, the short version. The vibe check version. 🫶

LaTeXila is an Integrated LaTeX Environment for the GNOME Desktop. That's the whole thing. That's the pitch. It's giving "I write my LaTeX in a nice window with buttons instead of in a terminal at 3am," and honestly? Iconic. 👑

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

The program follows the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes. A summary of options is included below. For a complete description of options, please use latexila --help.

  • -n, --new-document — Create a new document. Fresh page, blank slate, main character energy. 📄✨
  • --new-window — Create a new top-level window in an existing instance of LaTeXila. Not a whole new app, just a new window popping up in the one you already have open. 🪟
  • --display=DISPLAY — X display to use. Like, which display. That's the one. 🖥️
  • -h, --help — Show summary of common options. The greatest hits. 🎵
  • --help-all — Show summary of all options. The full album, deluxe edition. 💿
  • --help-gtk — Show summary of GTK+ options. The GTK+ lore, for the GTK+ girlies. 🌈
  • -V, --version — Display version information. Tell me what era we're in. ⭐

📝 NOTES 📝

By default, when LaTeXila is started it reopens the files that were open last time it was used. Like it remembered. It kept your tabs. It said "I got you." 🥹

This behaviour can be disabled in the program preferences. So if you're the kind of person who wants a clean slate every single time, go turn it off, no judgement. 🙈

💀 BUGS 💀

The upstream BTS can be found at https://bugzilla.gnome.org/browse.cgi?product=latexila.

Go there, tell them what happened, be nice about it. Bugs are just features that haven't been loved yet. 🐛💜
