Then Flashmode checks in regular intervals (default is 0.2 sec), if Started the front most document in the TeXShop could be anything Long as it stays open, i.e., a few split seconds after Flashmode has Gets its path and after that it is hooked forever to this document as Whenįlashmode is started, it looks for the front most document in TeXShop, From that page:įlashmode enables simultaneous typesetting if TeXShop is used asĮditor for TEX or LATEX or any other common TEX variant. In vim I map F2 to compile and F4 to call XDVI.Ĭlaus Gerhardt's Flashmode offers live preview for TeXShop on MacOS. For that, modern editors can generally support hot-keys where saving and compiling is mapped to one keystroke. With LaTeX I feel that the better idea is "compile-on-saves", where the human initiates the saving of the file (as compared to "automatically saving and compiling in the background). Also, if the editor autosaves the file in a spot where you are halfway typing a command, then the source won't compile. So you won't be able to immediately see what you typed in the DVI window. So if you are looking for a solution that calls the LaTeX compiler, it probably shouldn't try to do it more often than once every 5 or 10 seconds. Compiling the code takes usually a short amount of time (1 or 2 seconds, or more if the file is large).

Short of a WYSIWYG, I am not quite sure how you can achieve full real-time solution. Which watches for changes to the TeX file (signaled by the fact that filename.tex is more recently modified than filename.log) and compile when necessary (with a possible two seconds delay). So you can do something like while true do sleep 2 if then latex -halt-on-error filename.tex fi done Now, that one-liner I gave above is quite ugly and resource wasting, since it makes no sense to re-compile if no changes are made ( Edit: See this comment below for a much better way to avoid this problem).

You need to set it up to automatically save the file every x seconds, and how to do that depends on the editor at hand. The other half has to be dealt with by your editor of choice. The one-liner runs latex continuously with 5 second break between runs (the -halt-on-error options prevents the incantation from getting stuck if you saved a file with errors). On a Mac, you can of course just open up a terminal, cd to the directory where you keep the TeX file, and issue while true do sleep 5 latex -halt-on-error filename.tex doneĪnd have the DVI file open in a viewer that watches for (and reloads on) changes.

To be clear, I am not after something like LyX, that is, I am not after a WYSIWYG-type thing, but rather something where I can type real LaTeX and see my code, but have at the same time another window showing me the pdf (or dvi) file compiled.

So my question is: is there a software ideally like KtikZ or another type of editor which provides real-time compilation and that I can use on my mac? I guess if you know of a Windows/Linux option I would also like to know, and the same for a way to set up a script to get the document compiled every 5 seconds or so (I am sure I have seen this written somewhere, but I don't know whether I can do it with a mac or whether it is editor/pdf viewer dependent), but what I really want is a software/tool which would work with a mac. The speed is not all that big of a deal for me, but the fact that it does not work with tikZ pictures is (the nodes all collapse in one point so that the words are all one on the top of the other). It was extremely hard to get it to work on the mac (see my quest here), and it is not all that fast. WhizzyTeX: This is a minor mode for Emacs.

KtikZ: This is only for tikZ, which would be perfect for me, but unfortunately as far as I know it only works with Ubuntu and Debian, and I use Mac OS X (so I have never actually tried it, though I did dig a lot to see whether I would be able to install on my mac and from what I see it is really what I want - I am even considering installing Ubuntu just to use it!). So far, I know of two things, but none of them work for me. I would really love to have a software or tool which provided real time compilation of my LaTeX document (to be able to see the final pdf or dvi document as I type the latex code), especially for when I am drawing pictures using tikZ.
