LaTeX Editors

Motivation

After years of procastrinating, finally, I started experimenting seriously with LaTeX . I have always been a fan of gorgeous documents prepared by LaTeX, but never got the time (a more apt pharsing would be - never got over procastrinating) to try out properly.

Tools

I have tried two approaches:

  • Using LaTeX Workshop extension in VS Code, link: here
  • Using Overleaf.

Sorting tables in MkDocs Materials

Intro

Material for MkDocs comes with a plugun that allows sorting table contents (plugin: tablesort). The good thing is the plugin works quite well. The bad - well, it treats everything as strings by default. If you have numbers, you probably want to sort your column contents as numbers (not as strings). As per the documentation, tablesort provides for numbersort options that should be implementable with Material (doc link: tablesort documnentation). However, I was unable to do this easily.
