Features

Customization

Specifying the location of a bibtex file & corresponding PDFs

The reftex and bibtex-completion packages have two variables that allow you to specify where it should find your bibliography file(s) and their corresponding PDFs:

(setq reftex-default-bibliography "/your/bib/file.bib")
;; Optionally specifying a location for the corresponding PDFs
(setq bibtex-completion-library-path (list "/your/bib/pdfs"))

Changing the PDFs viewer

This module provides integration for four supported pdf viewers. They are

• Skim.app (MacOS only)
• Evince
• Sumatra PDF
• Zathura
• Okular
• pdf-tools (requires :tools pdf module)

They are searched for in this order. See +latex-viewers to change the order, or remove tools from the search altogether. If you want to exclusively use one tool, for instance:

(setq +latex-viewers '(zathura))

If none of these tools are found, latex-preview-pane (uses DocView in Emacs) is used as a fallback. You can use this exclusively by setting +latex-viewers to nil.
