LaTeX for Humans makes writing LaTeX documents as easy and intuitive as using a word processor.
Designed for non-experts, it adds simple buttons and shortcuts for common formatting actions like bold, italic, underline, itemized lists, tables, and more — directly inside Visual Studio Code.

Automatically wraps your selected text in the proper LaTeX commands
(e.g., \textbf{}, \textit{}, \underline{})
✅ Smart Context Actions
Works on selected text, or inserts the command at the cursor
Avoids breaking syntax inside environments
✅ Insert Common Structures
Create lists (itemize, enumerate) with one click
Insert tables, sections, or figures easily
✅ Custom Command Buttons

🧠 Why “for Humans”?
LaTeX is powerful — but also intimidating for beginners.
This extension helps bridge the gap between ease of use and LaTeX precision, bringing a touch of “Word-like” usability into VS Code.
