Spellcheck in TEX Documents?

[BrandenEsses]

I'm trying to have the extension work on .tex documents. It works on LaTEX class files (.cls) out of the box. I tried adding 'text/x-tex' to the accepted type list in index.ts, but to no avail. It seems that .tex documents are a subset of 'text/plain', and I am not sure where to go from here.

Apologies if this is not the correct place for this - I am new to GitHub.

It seems that lab uses text/latex mimetype for tex documents as per file formats documentation. Would that work for you?

Thanks for your quick reply!

I went ahead and changed it to:

accepted_types = [ 
        'text/plain',
        'text/x-ipythongfm',   // IPython GFM = GitHub Flavored Markdown, applies to all .md files
        'text/latex',
    ]; 

I rebuilt with:

npm run build
jupyter lab build

But no dice. So I completely uninstalled, rebuilt and reinstalled, but still no luck. Am I missing anything?

I would try one more command (if you have not already): jupyter labextension link .

If you are not sure if your changes are being picked up, you could always try to add an alert() call somewhere in the code.

Feel free to post the result of jupyter labextension list. Also, you may be interested in the tex support we have over in jupyterlab-lsp extension.

I've decided to focus my attention on jupyterlab-lsp. Thank you for the support!

You need use text/x-latex instead of text/latex

accepted_types = [ 
        'text/plain',
        'text/x-ipythongfm',   // IPython GFM = GitHub Flavored Markdown, applies to all .md files
        'text/x-latex',
    ];

Thanks @QZ4869! It should be now possible to change the types for the user interface (see #32).
