Kriechel, what type of errors are you seeing? Does the LaTeX document reference
other
files (images, styles, etc)? Could you send me the compiler log (from the
output view
in LaTeX Lab)?

Nothing is read. The document sheet remains empty while the program
tries to load the document. The error is: "An error occurred while
performing the following command:
Load current document contents."
Could it be that it cannot be opened BECAUSE google docs does not
recognize it as a document? I have the ending .TEX for the document, and
in google docs it is treated as a "other file".
Ah, I just tested this theory, because there was a document created
within google docs from latexlab.org (when I was playing around). This
was recognized as a document file and contained the example latex code
you provide. When I copy paste my own (LaTeX) code into it, latexlab.org
can open the document.
To summarize, there is a problem importing files from google docs that
are not recognized by google docs as documents. Files ending in .tex are
usually not treated as document by google docs.

That's correct, Google recently added support for all files types, but their
GData
API, which is used to read/write documents, only supports modifying non-standard
files for premium Google Apps customers. We're not premium :).
That is fairly new functionality and i expect/hope that it will become
available for
non-premium users as well at some point.
Currently, all LaTeX documents (other than images) should be created as
documents for
use in LaTeX Lab. One advantage of doing things this way is that you'll be able
to
edit these documents in Google Docs whenever necessary, whereas non-document
types
will not be editable by the Google Docs editor.
Hope that helps.

I use this online Latex editor and compiler with my Chromebook, since it
actually lets me make Latex files on a Chromebook at all.
However, if I save a .tex file to Google Docs form somewhere else "e.g. I
download a template" I can't open that in the editor.
This is plain silly in my eyes. There's no fix for this?

Any news on whether google will ever make non-standard file support available
to non-premium apps?
Also, why is write access needed? It seems like just reading the tex file
should be enough to compile, although of course you wouldn't get collaborative
editing if you choose to use an external editor rather than google docs.
Apologies for reviving such an old thread, btw. I just noticed the date stamps.

I agree. It looks like the most basic question anyone could pose. If you can't
open a file, the process stops there.
Given the lack of interest in this, am I missing something here? Or is everyone
simply using copy and paste to use latex-lab as a cloud based TeXLive (?)
installation? Is this project alive or dead?
