Compiling LaTeX

Learnitive supports browser-first and server-side LaTeX compilation while keeping the source project portable.

Local Compile

Local Compile runs the supported browser TeX path and keeps project files on the browser/local side for that compile workflow. It is the preferred first attempt when the project is compatible with the browser compiler environment.

Cloud Compile

Cloud Compile temporarily sends the files required for a compile job to the isolated server compiler. Use it when you intentionally need the server-side TeX environment or when the browser path cannot satisfy a package, font or engine requirement.

Full TeX Live reliability path

When a local compile fails specifically because of the browser TeX environment, Learnitive can use its isolated Full TeX Live server path where configured.

Logs

Read the first meaningful TeX error before reacting to cascaded failures. Missing files, packages, fonts and unbalanced structure are common causes.

Bibliographies

BibTeX/Biber behavior depends on the project and selected compiler path. Keep bibliography files in the project and inspect the compile log when references do not settle.
