Compiles .tex to .pdf using commands like "pdflatex", at current file

Image of Command

Requirements

Installed Latex distribution

Programs Like

Miktex for Windows
Mactex for OSX

Please note that there is a known issue with MacOSX El Capitan (10.11.x): LaTeX tools are now located in /Library/TeX/texbin instead of /usr/texbin. https://tug.org/mactex/elcapitan.html

How to install

Install Visual Studio Code
Open View -> Command Palette... and type ext install latex compile
Restart Visual Studio Code and select the command "LaTeX: Compile PDF" From the list of files displayed, select a file to open.

Settings

You can configure some settings

Open the PDF after Compile
Open the log after Error
Set the LaTeX compiler to be used (pdflatex, xelatex, lualatex)

Set a main document to always be the compilation target

//Latex Compile Configuration
"latexCompile.openAfterCompile": true,
"latexCompile.openLogAfterError": true,
"latexCompile.compiler": "xelatex"

Main Document Configuration

A few notes...

This only works if you have a folder opened
While you technically can set it globally, this should probably be set with workspace options
```
.vscode/settings.json:
{
"latexCompile.mainFile": "myDoc.tex"
}
```
