Autocompletion for .Rnw files in knitr

[sumanstats]

Hi there,

This atom package is really working great. Many thanks.

Can we add autocompletion for at least LaTeX part ( and if possible for R part as well just like Rstudio does) in knitr in .Rnw files? It would greatly accelerate the workflow and productivity.

Rstudio provides R autocompletion in .Rnw files but fails for the latex part !!

Best regards,

We are currently trying to keep this package focused on the compilation phase.

Autocompletion and editing assist is then provided by several other packages in Atom. The only package that I know of that does knitr autocompletion is latexer.

Below is a list of packages that I have found to be useful (in no particular order) for LaTeX/knitr editing.

• autocomplete-bibtex — autocomplete-plus to fill-in keys from bibtex, citeproc JSON, and citeproc YAML files.
• bibtex-helper — autocompletes BibTeX citation formats
• bibtex-snippets — snippets for BibTeX entries
• document-outline — document outline for MarkDown, LaTeX, ReStructured Text, AsciiDoc and knitr using sections, parts, etc.
• language-knitr — syntax highlighting
• language-latex — syntax highlighting
• latex-autocomplete — general autocompletion
• latex-hyperclick — hyperclick support for subfiles and references
• latexer — reference, citation and environment autocompletion for LaTeX, MarkDown, R-MarkDown and knitr.
• linter-chktex — syntax error/warnings using linter
• linter-spell-latex — spell checking using linter
• preview-inline — inline previewing of equations

As explained by @yitzchak, the goal if this package is to handle the actual compilation of LaTeX (and by extension Knitr) documents. Autocompletion, syntax highlighting, etc, is done via other community packages. Seems like latexer does what you want — give it a try, and let us know how it worked out for you.
