Latex¶

The bundle packages a collection of Tex editing and processing software. The bundle includes the following software:

Software	Version
Lyx	2.4.0~RC3
Pandoc	3.1.3
Okular	23.08.5
TeX Live	2023.20240207-1
TeXstudio	4.6.3-1
TeXworks	0.6.8

Two variants of the bundle are available: basic and full. The default variant is basic. If storage is a concern, then always test with the basic variant first as it requires much less space.

Usage example¶

In order to make use of the editors and other tools, the module must first be loaded using the following command:

1	`module load latex`

Or, for the full variant:

module load latex tex=full

After the module has been loaded the following commands can be run:

okular
pandoc
lyx
texworks
texstudio

The latex_shell command can be used for low-level access to the shell.

1	`latex_shell`
