LaTeX Utilities

An add-on to the vscode extension LaTeX Workshop that provides some fancy features that are less vital to the basic experience editing a LaTeX document, but can be rather nice to have. The feature should continue to expand at a gradually decreasing rate.

Features

• Formatted Pastes
  • Unicode characters 🡒 LaTeX characters (e.g. “is this… a test” 🡒 ``is this\ldots a test'')
  • Paste table cells (from spreadsheet programs or similar) 🡒 tabular
  • Paste images, customisable template
  • Paste location of CSVs/images to have them included
• Live Snippets (auto-activating, with regex) see here for documentation
• Count Words in a LaTeX Document
• TikZ Preview
• Zotero citation management

Telemetry

This extension uses telemetry (If your response is best described by 🤢 I understand).

Why

As a bunch of fancy, but non-essential features, it can be hard to know what features users actually derive value from. In adding telemetry to this extension I hope to get an idea of this, and inform future development efforts. It should also be possible to report errors in the background, and so I also hope this extension will be more stable as a result.

At the moment I'm just logging when one of the main features is used.

TLDR; I want to get around the 1% rule

I hate telemetry, go way!

You probably have disabled vscode's telemetry.enableTelemetry then, in which case no telemetry is done.
