How to get started using LaTeX in Scrivener

[rms]

There is no “TEX” template provided by Scrivener. Check with whoever gave you that template as to how to use it. And you do not edit a *.tex document in Scrivener. You use Scrivener to create, write, edit, and then compile a .*tex file that you then use a LaTeX tool to make a document.

Create a new document based on the “General Non-Fiction (LaTeX)” template provided by Scrivener. at the top of the Binder in the new project, just above the “Draft” item, is a document with full instructions.

Repeating what I told you earlier today:

I can only suggest you create a simple test document based on Scrivener’s LaTeX template, read the concise documentation, and give it a go. I use “texmaker” to compile the *.tex file created by Scrivener.

There also is mention of LaTeX in the “Scrivener User Manual”, but I’ve not used other than cursory looking. Instructions in the Template are best to get started, and then I just looked at the Text Settings in the template editing dialog boxes, and made my own LaTeX settings in a file compiled as part of “FrontMatter”.

It’s all in your control. No magic.
