* Description
This layer adds support for LaTeX files with [[https://savannah.gnu.org/projects/auctex/][AucTeX]].

** Features
- Auto-build with [[https://github.com/tom-tan/auctex-latexmk/][auctex-latexmk]]
- Auto-completion with [[https://github.com/alexeyr/company-auctex][company-auctex]]
- Tags navigation on ~%~ with [[https://github.com/redguardtoo/evil-matchit][evil-matchit]]
- Labels, references, citations and index entries management with [[http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/reftex/index.html][RefTeX]]

** BibTeX
For more extensive support of BibTeX files than RefTeX provides, have a look at
the [[../bibtex][BibTeX layer]].

* Install
** Layer
To use this configuration layer, add it to your =~/.spacemacs=. You will need to
add =latex= to the existing =dotspacemacs-configuration-layers= list in this
file.

** Auto-completion
Add the layer =auto-completion= to the variable
=dotspacemacs-configuration-layers= of your dotfile =~/.spacemacs=.

** Previewing
To perform full-document previews (that is, aside from the inline previewing
under ~SPC m p~), add the following to your =.spacemacs=
under =dotspacemacs/user-config=:

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
  (add-hook 'doc-view-mode-hook 'auto-revert-mode)
#+END_SRC

Then when you open up a compiled PDF, the preview will update automatically
when you recompile.

** Build command
A build command can be specified via the layer variable =latex-build-command=.

If =LatexMk= is specified, the appropriate =LatexMk= configuration
will be applied. (the default on systems with =latexmk= in the path)
This variable can be set to any of the entities in =TeX-command-list=,
including any custom entries you may have added there. To use the
regular =AucTeX= command set =latex-build-command= to =LaTeX= as shown
below.

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
  dotspacemacs-configuration-layers '(
    (latex :variables latex-build-command "LaTeX"))
#+END_SRC

** Auto-fill
To enable auto-fill set the variable =latex-enable-auto-fill= to =t=.

The variable =latex-nofill-env= provide the list of environment names where
=auto-fill-mode= will be inhibited.

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
  dotspacemacs-configuration-layers '(
    (latex :variables latex-enable-auto-fill t))
#+END_SRC

** Folding
Enable folding of text by setting =latex-enable-folding= to =t=. Default value
is nil.

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
  dotspacemacs-configuration-layers '(
    (latex :variables latex-enable-folding t))
#+END_SRC
