We are still using Pandoc’s Markdown parser, which differs from CommonMark spec slightly. Notably: - Line breaks in lists behave differently. - Admonitions do not support the simpler syntax https://github.com/jgm/commonmark-hs/issues/75 - The auto_identifiers uses a different algorithm – I made the previous ones explicit. - Languages (classes) of code blocks cannot contain whitespace so we have to use “pycon” alias instead of Python “console” as GitHub’s linguist While at it, I also fixed the following issues: - ShellSesssion was used - Removed some pointless docbook tags.

# TeX Live {#sec-language-texlive}
|
|
|
|
Since release 15.09 there is a new TeX Live packaging that lives entirely under attribute `texlive`.
|
|
|
|
## User's guide {#sec-language-texlive-user-guide}
|
|
|
|
- For basic usage just pull `texlive.combined.scheme-basic` for an environment with basic LaTeX support.
|
|
|
|
- It typically won't work to use separately installed packages together. Instead, you can build a custom set of packages like this:
|
|
|
|
```nix
|
|
texlive.combine {
|
|
inherit (texlive) scheme-small collection-langkorean algorithms cm-super;
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
- There are all the schemes, collections and a few thousand packages, as defined upstream (perhaps with tiny differences).
|
|
|
|
- By default you only get executables and files needed during runtime, and a little documentation for the core packages. To change that, you need to add `pkgFilter` function to `combine`.
|
|
|
|
```nix
|
|
texlive.combine {
|
|
# inherit (texlive) whatever-you-want;
|
|
pkgFilter = pkg:
|
|
pkg.tlType == "run" || pkg.tlType == "bin" || pkg.pname == "cm-super";
|
|
# elem tlType [ "run" "bin" "doc" "source" ]
|
|
# there are also other attributes: version, name
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
- You can list packages e.g. by `nix repl`.
|
|
|
|
```ShellSession
|
|
$ nix repl
|
|
nix-repl> :l <nixpkgs>
|
|
nix-repl> texlive.collection-[TAB]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
- Note that the wrapper assumes that the result has a chance to be useful. For example, the core executables should be present, as well as some core data files. The supported way of ensuring this is by including some scheme, for example `scheme-basic`, into the combination.
|
|
|
|
## Custom packages {#sec-language-texlive-custom-packages}
|
|
|
|
|
|
You may find that you need to use an external TeX package. A derivation for such package has to provide contents of the "texmf" directory in its output and provide the `tlType` attribute. Here is a (very verbose) example:
|
|
|
|
```nix
|
|
with import <nixpkgs> {};
|
|
|
|
let
|
|
foiltex_run = stdenvNoCC.mkDerivation {
|
|
pname = "latex-foiltex";
|
|
version = "2.1.4b";
|
|
passthru.tlType = "run";
|
|
|
|
srcs = [
|
|
(fetchurl {
|
|
url = "http://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/foiltex/foiltex.dtx";
|
|
sha256 = "07frz0krpz7kkcwlayrwrj2a2pixmv0icbngyw92srp9fp23cqpz";
|
|
})
|
|
(fetchurl {
|
|
url = "http://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/foiltex/foiltex.ins";
|
|
sha256 = "09wkyidxk3n3zvqxfs61wlypmbhi1pxmjdi1kns9n2ky8ykbff99";
|

})
|
|
];
|
