Why have no one suggested to split LaTeX into two parts like the Emacs server, or something?
With a client and a server to run on your desktop/laptop/etc.
- kleiba 15y agoIn fact, you could run a remote Emacs and edit LaTeX with it, using the excellent AUCTeX package. Of course, that means you need to have a network connection plus a server you can ssh into.
- berntb 15y agoYou'd also need to see the layout graphically? (Also, I assume every LaTeX user has a few computers to use as servers..) Edit: Clarity.
- tikhonj 15y agoI don't know about running Emacs over ssh on an iPad, but locally using the X front-end (e.g. not in a terminal), Emacs can display PDFs.
- kleiba 15y agoIt might get tricky though to issue the latex command on the remote server from the Emacs that runs locally?!
- tikhonj 15y agoI've never tried using auctex remotely, but in general if you have a file open in Tramp, you can also run arbitrary shell commands with M-! and M-& remotely, as well as opening shell buffers that let you run commands remotely as normal.
- kleiba 15y agoYeah, that's right... You could scp the .pdf back to the iPad, but that's a bit cumbersome. Oh, well, unless you give Emacs advice to do that for you after each latex command...
