LaTeX... on VS Code?

Grace trying to find ways to write LaTeX Overleaf files on her personal computer... trying to type offline on flights :')

This is just personal notes for Grace, but maybe it’s useful for some other folks in the future who may want to combine LaTeX, VS Code, Overleaf, and Github all into one place :D

Note: I have a Mac with a macOS Sequoia!

Steps Taken

At least the steps I took was:

1. just adding the LaTeX extension on the VS Code on my personal computer:

The actual github link for LaTeX Workshop has even more detailed steps too for installation guides!

2. You can then download MacTex:

kinda looks sus, but it does the job :D

3. Then follow step three in this blog on using LaTeX Workshop and setting up VS Code > specifically adding several lines to the User Settings JSON file

4. Now, you can compile LaTeX Workshop files on your computer! You can compile using option + Cmd + B (macOS)

Some more cool links of ppl geeking out about this on reddit, and also how to integrate with overleaf and github here!
