+LuaRocks +Build Status +

+ +Digestif is a code analyzer, and a [language server][lsp], for LaTeX, +ConTeXt et caterva. It provides context-sensitive completion, +documentation, code navigation, and related functionality to any text +editor that speaks the LSP protocol. + +![Mandatory GIF][gif] + +Features +-------- + +- Completion for commands, environments, key-value options (for + instance, TikZ options), cross-references and citations. + +- Popup help messages, including command signature and documentation. + For the best results, make sure you have the [LaTeX reference + manual][latexref] installed as an [info node][info-issues]. + +- Find definition and references to labels and citations. + +- Document outline. + +- Multi-file documents are supported via TeXShop-style magic comments. + Just add a comment like this near the top of each child document: + + ``` + % !TeX root = somefile.tex + ``` + +- Digestif is fuzzy! For citations, it tries an exact match against + the BibTeX identifier and a fuzzy match against author and title. + In the GIF above, the user types `groalhom`, which matches + **Gro**thendieck's “Sur quelques points d'**al**gébre + **hom**ologique”; selecting this inserts the BibTeX identifier + `Tohoku`. Similarly, for cross-references, Digestif tries an exact + match against the label and a fuzzy match against the text around + the label. + +- Support for LaTeX, ConTeXt, plain TeX, DocTeX (`.dtx` files) and + Texinfo. + +- Bibliography support via BibTeX, BibLaTeX and amsrefs. + +- Lua API, independent of the language server protocol, for use in + editors capable of loading Lua modules. See [API on the wiki][api] + for details. + +Installation +------------ + +Digestif has minimal dependencies and can run on LuaTeX or on a +standalone Lua interpreter. Correspondingly, there are two ways to +install it. + +### LuaTeX with the self-installing script ![easy] + +The only dependencies for this are git and a recent TeX installation. + +1. Download the [digestif][self-install-sh] wrapper script (or, on + Windows, [digestif.cmd][self-install-cmd]). +2. Place it in your `$PATH` (say, `~/.local/bin`). +3. Make it executable (`chmod +x ~/.local/bin/digestif`). + +In the first run, the script will automatically download the +package, by default to `~/.digestif`. To update or uninstall, +simply delete that folder. + +### Standalone Lua via LuaRocks + +Run `luarocks install digestif`. This should be done either as root +or with the `--local` option, in which case the executable script will +land in `~/.luarocks/bin/digestif`; make sure this is in your `$PATH` +or adapt your text editor configuration accordingly. + +Editor setup +------------ + +Next, you need to enable Digestif as a language server in your +favorite text editor. + +### Emacs with the [Eglot] package + +Digestif works out-of-the-box with Eglot. Just install the package +(`M-x package-install RET eglot RET`), open some TeX document and +enable Eglot (`M-x eglot`). Voilà! Some hints: + +- If you want automatic snippet insertion upon choosing a completion + candidate, make sure to activate `yas-minor-mode` *before* + starting up Eglot. + +- Try the [consult-eglot] package to access the index of a multifile + project (this is exposed via the the `workspace/symbols` LSP + method.) + +### Emacs with the [lsp-mode] package + +To ensure that Digestif is used, add the following to your init file: + + ``` emacs-lisp + (setq lsp-tex-server 'digestif) + ``` + +### Vim with the [Coc] plugin + +See instructions [here](https://github.com/neoclide/coc.nvim/wiki/Language-servers#latex). + +### Other editors + +It shouldn't be hard to set up other editors to use Digestif. Please +open an issue if you want to include additional instructions here. + +Supported TeX packages +---------------------- + +Digestif tries to learn about the commands provided by a package by +looking at its source code, but this has limitations, since the +typical TeX literate documentation is ostensibly not machine readable. + +For full support, a detailed “tags” file should be created for each +package. Among other things, this file lists all defined macros +together with their signatures and docstrings. To generate a stub +tags file from a `.sty`, `.cls` or `.dtx` file, use the command + +``` +digestif --generate FILES +``` + +After filling in the missing details, the resulting tags file can be +added to this repository (pull requests are welcome!). The format of +the tags files should be more or less self explanatory. See the data +folder for examples. + +License +------- + +Digestif is available under the [GNU General Public License][GPL], +version 3 or later. For some files in the [data](./data) directory, a +different license applies.
