Offline use of Latex-lab with local Latex compiler

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Describe the requested feature:

I know that the selection of a local latex compiler will be available very
soon, however, I'm wondering if it would be possible to use latex-lab
offline such as Google docs offline.

If it is possible, that would a be a real alternative instead of switching
between online and local Latex editor.

Thanks again for your great work.

LaTeX Lab will probably take the same path as Google Docs for offline mode
implementation. Google Docs has implemented offline mode using a the Google 
Gears
plugin. The purpose of the Gears plugin is to make some HTML5 features 
available for
browser that don't currently support some of the necessary HTML5 features.

At some point i expect LaTeX Lab to make use of HTML5 features for an offline 
mode,
which in combination with the local compile could allow editing documents in 
offline
mode (as long as the user has a local LaTeX installation available), though
realistically this feature will be a few months away.
