The rmarkdown bug #1285 once again confirmed that TinyTeX could be a better option than MiKTeX on Windows. Convenience outweighs the potential risk of letting certain software install (random) packages automatically in this case. What would you do otherwise in this case? Just stare at the screen, let LaTeX fail, and feel the miserable life? I don’t think you want to do that. However, from the viewpoint of users, I guess 99.99% of users will agree to install the missing packages. In the MiKTeX Console (you can find it from the Start menu on Windows), choose “Always install missing packages on-the-fly”:įrom the viewpoint of the developer, it is absolutely the right thing to do to ask users before installing the missing LaTeX packages. I’m still not sure why it could fail (I feel when MiKTeX is installed by the system admin, it may fail to pop up the dialog), but you can change the default setting and let MiKTeX install the missing LaTeX packages without asking. The default behavior of MiKTeX is to ask you whether you want to install missing LaTeX packages, but it may fail to pop up the dialog box to ask you in the first place. ![]() In TexMaker, you’ll need to set one document to be a master document to work with multiple files.While debugging the rmarkdown issue #1285, I discovered that MiKTeX might fail to install missing LaTeX packages in certain cases. There is another variation of this: separate your content into another *.tex file, and then you have 2 master documents – one for Overleaf (main.tex) and another you use for TexMaker (main-texmaker.tex or whatever name you want) – which both includes the same content file. Tip: You can generate bibtex code from easily with. To do this, go to “options > Configure TexMaker” and under “Quick Build” tab, select the quick-build command “PdfLatex + Bib(la)tex + PdfLaTeX (x2) + View Pdf” When you press F1 (quickbuild), you will need to enable bibtex in your build. ![]() If you receive warning messages in TexMaker that goes something like These code blocks (provided in the template the texmaker version is commented out) will need to be changed when moving your code back to TexMaker. You’ll find this in the start and end of the latex document respectively. ![]() If the template link is not working, you can get from this Github gist instead), edit the latex document collaboratively in Overleaf, and then when you need it to compile in Texmaker, download the project as a zip and change some code.įortunately, it’s only 2 blocks of code, annotated as “SETUP DOCUMENT” and “END DOCUMENT”. There should be 2 files: main.tex and ref.bib. ![]() So the best workflow I can come out with at the moment is this: Create latex document from my template (get from here: Overleaf to Texmaker Bibtex Template. Conversely, copy-pasting working bibtex code from TexMaker into Overleaf pulls out compile errors. Overleaf may have the advantage of having collaborative editing with (almost) live previewing, but I hit a lot of problems getting the documents with bibtex I wrote there to compile in Texmaker. Note that the citation format I’m using is APA, as specified by my university. In this post I detail how to get bibtex working on Overleaf (previously known as WriteLatex) and Texmaker (Windows 10 64-bit, MikTeX).
