It appears that I may only submit an issue and not request a feature or
"enhancement". Nonetheless, would it be possible to make LaTeX lab the
default application for *.tex files instead of the Google Document editor?

I copied over a document to LaTeX-Lab to see how it compiled. I then
attempted to change the formating of the document source by changing some
tabs. I could not tab more than once. Any subsequent tabs did not do anything.

I would expect to witness iterative tab stops. One after the other after
the other, et cetera.

My system version information is as follows:
LaTeX-Lab v2.0 
Firefox v3.5.8
Linux Ubuntu v9.10

I will check Slackware v13.0 x86.64 when I get home. I am at class right
now and using my laptop.

Very small space is \! which is in fact a negative space.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Login to latex-lab
2. Create a simple document with an inline equation: $3 = 1 + 2$
3. Compile the code

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

What I expect to see is "3 = 1 + 2".  What I do see is "3 = 1 2".  

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Latex-lab ver 2.1, running in Mozilla Firefox ver 3.0.3 on Win XP.

Please provide any additional information below.

This is potentially GREAT product.  I hope you can make it work!  

Sincerely,

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.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Upload a .tex into google docs.
2. Attempt to open the document from latex-lab.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

After uploading the tex file, google docs does not recognize it as a text
document, hence does not set the type correctly. In result, latex-lab
cannot open it (no link is provided on the document name in the open
dialog). I suggest latex-lab should detect if a document name ends in .tex
and allow the user to open it in that case. The list of extensions should
potentially be extended with other TeX/LaTeX related ones.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Tried with Ubuntu Lucid, and Windows Vista.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Upload tex file
2. Star tex file
3. Open starred tex file in LatexLab

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Expected to open file, instead see error.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Firefox on Unix.

Please provide any additional information below.

Describe the requested feature:

1- To be able to Zoom in/out in the preview.
2- Be able to search and replace in the tex file.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. From this morining, When i click open file, I can't access my google docs
2. Moreover i can't create any new file.
3. But, when i click Docs Home, i access my google docs

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?


What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
FF 3.6.3

Please provide any additional information below.
It seems to me that it's a problem of google docs which gets some problems.

Describe the requested feature:

I use vim to write my latex source code, with vim-latex, it is so fast to write 
an 
article with shortcuts and auto-complete instead of clicking buttons. I know 
for a 
lot of people, this would be a study curve, but I believe there are someones  
out 
there really want this feature.

Anyway, it is a very nice and promising project and thanks for the hard 
working. 

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.Opening an "external" TeX file from Google Docs (with many commands) 
2.
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expect to work on a TeX source file. Instead I see errors.

Please provide any additional information below.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. I want to use KOREAN in latex.
2. When i compile below tex file.
3. Only what i get is "Compiler error. Check LaTeX code" message.


What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

- I thought that below sentense gives a hint about compile problem.

I was looking forward to using this as a LaTeX solution on the iPad since I 
doubt we will see 
a TeX distribution on the App Store any time soon. I've found that it is 
completely unusable 
though. I imagine this is true of all mobile browsers. I haven't gotten to use 
it on a desktop 
yet, but I know it is completely unusable on mobile browsers. No editing, no 
PDF output, etc.

I don't know how much of this can be improved on your end, but I'd really hope 
to see 
support for mobile browsers like Safari. I hear there is already issues with 
Google Docs ob 
mobile browsers too, so perhaps it's all on Google's end. I think the real 
shining potential of 
this is in it's possibility of mobility.

I'm working on a smiliar project but without Google stuff. I found no email
address or any other contact option to get in contact. 
So I ask here:
Are there any security issues with LaTeX code? Did you made some special
filtering for commands that might be dangerous when executed on the server?

Hi,

I'd like to use latexlab to make documents in PDF, but have the rendered PDF 
automatically be 
loaded into my google docs. This way I can like to them from existing webpages 
such that 
whenever I update the doc, it's automatically updated online.

Example: I use latex for my CV and I also post a PDF copy of it online. 
Presently I rarely update 
the online posting, so it falls out of date.

If I imported my CV to latexlabs and this feature were available, each time I 
added a publication 
or other update to my CV, I could recompile the PDF version that is stored in 
google docs and it 
would automatically be updated online.

Great job on latex-lab so far!

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. create a document using the example text
2. add anywhere the word "ñoño"
3. save and reopen
4. do any edit
5. try to save again

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Try to do something useful
2. Something useful cannot happen. ERRORD
3. DID NOT save when I tried to SAVE

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
SAVING DOCUMENT. ERROR"D

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
The current one. Windows 7.

Please provide any additional information below.
I like puppies!

In the "Arrows" symbol menu the following symbols display as greek letters.

Long left arrow = psi
Long right arrow = zeta
Long left/right arrow = omega
Long double left arrow = eta
Long double right arrow = psi
Long double left/right arrow = zeta

Also, in the "Arrows With Captions" menu, the title is longer than the menu
box.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.create a document that is significantly longer than one page

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

The expected output would be either multiple pages or the whole document
visible.  Instead, the document is cut-off at the bottom and you can't see
the remainder of the document wihtout exporting it to a pdf.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

latexlob on a dell windows machine


Please provide any additional information below.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. upload  the following file:
http://www.ploscompbiol.org/static/plos_template.tex
2.
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
See the file

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
the current.

Please provide any additional information below.

Image inclusion is always a hassle with LaTeX.  A good feature of a
Google-based compiler would be a streamlined image inclusion process for
images from Google Drawing.

A Fantastic related feature would be to allow Google Drawings to include
LaTeX code, which could be compiled and included in a LaTeX document to
have the same font style as the surrounding code.

[deleted issue]

Pop-up blockers prevent the exported pdf's to be viewed. In Google Chrome 
it doesn't even work when the pop-up blocker is disabled. 
I think the exported pdf should directly be saved to the same google docs 
directory where the source is located, which is the natural behavior.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. minor edits of the default displayed untitled document
2. rename to test-latex
3. attempt to save

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?


What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?


Please provide any additional information below.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. I'm using one main tex file which includes many input{*.tex} commands,
with the following package:
\usepackage[paperwidth=215mm,paperheight=279mm,height=229mm,,width=152mm,tmargin
=25mm,left=38mm]{geometry}
2. I compile
3. The preview PDF is a huge sheet with compiled pages, its like 8 pages
per one page. I nedd to scroll right and left to see all pages.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expect to see one page at a time and only scroll down/up to see pages,
not right or left to see many hidden pages.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
firefox 3.6.3, vista

Please provide any additional information below.
It would be great if the previe if a real PDF file inctead of an image.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Type misspelt word in latex-lab
2.
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Firefox comes with inline spellcheck (red squiggly lines under spelling
mistakes). This functions on regular google.docs, but not in latex-lab
documents -- spelling errors are ignored.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Firefox 3.5, Ubuntu 9.10

Please provide any additional information below.

Latex-lab is a great tool for academics. It would be excellent to have some
form of spellchecking function -- whether the inline spellcheck offered by
firefox (which I appreciate is not entirely appropriate as it will see
latex code as spelling errors) or a spellcheck in the menu bar which parses
latex code and spellchecks what is not latex code (something akin to ispell
perhaps??)

Thankyou very much

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. File -> Save

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

I see:

"Error

An error occurred while performing the following command:
Save current document.
Submit to the issue tracker
Error details: Mismatch: etags = ["XkBXVR8MGCt7ImBr"], version = [g7f4wg8b]"

Is it possible to employ .pdf graphics (e.g. PDFTextify or equivalent 
compiler)?  

This would make it possible to generate graphics using the pdf export 
features of google docs, and use them with latexlabs to build the final 
document.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. I gave access to latex-lab first time to access my Docs account
2. i revoked this access because i couldn't see my documents files on Latex-lab
3. i tried to gave latex-lab access again to my Docs account but there is
no way to do it, now.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
So, due to this access control issue, when i try to check my documents
files, now i get the following:

An error occurred while performing the following command:
List documents.
Submit to the issue tracker
Error details: OK

I didn't receive this error the first time i tried latex-lab.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Vista, Firefox 3.6.3

Please provide any additional information below.
The first time i open the latex-lab, everything was working. So, to test it
more deeply i uploaded many latex files on my Docs account. As soon as i
finished uploading, I've tried to add these files to the project resources.
This time i couldn't see any files, even the old files, i tried refresh,
but nothing. So, i thought i should revoke access to Docs and restart from
the beginning, unfortunately, this time, i received the access control
problem following by this error.

PS. I've unchecked the option to convert files to Google docs files all for
all "new" uploaded files.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. select any text
2. click on bold|italic|..
3. the text will be replaced instead of applying the selected font face

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
the expected output it that the font face selected is applied over the
selected text

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. I've edited a file with latex-lab, but when i try to save it i receive
an error.
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Instead of saving the file, i receive the following error:

An error occurred while performing the following command:
Save and close current document.
Submit to the issue tracker
Error details: Mismatch: etags = ["XkgZUkQJRCt7ImBr"], version = [g7nztcrz]

I would recommend that when copying the document, you also have the
application copy the document resources. It is a pain reimplementing all
resources if you have more than a few.

Describe the requested feature:

Editing would be much more enjoyable if you added the options from the
format > document settings menu in Google Docs.  In particular the ability
to set the font and the document background colour (obviously these options
would have no effect on the document itself, just on the editing environment)

[deleted issue]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. find later revision of document
2.
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
i'm missing most of the work i did yesterday.  I saved the file but somehow
it reverted to a much earlier version.  Is there a way to find other
revisions of my work?  This is hours and hours of work.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Firefox browser on a dell.

Please provide any additional information below.

I'd like to use \cite{XXX} where XXX is a keyword used in preprint servers like 
SLAC spires or NASA 
ADS, then have latex lab automatically go to those servers to get the citation 
info in bibtex.

I already do something like this with slac spires, here's how:

% To cite something, use the standard \cite command and use as
% the argument either a SPIRES bibtex tag (\cite{Chang:2007xk})
% or simply the eprint number (new style: \cite{arXiv:1001.4811}
% or old style: \cite{astro-ph/0211637}).  

% To generate a bibliography paste the entire document into an 
% email and send it to [email protected] with subject
% "generate".  If you want bibTeX use subject line "generate bibtex".
% Spires will return your email in a few second with the bibliography
% which you can paste back in.  References will be in the proper order.

It'd be great if latex-labs could automate something like this - the academic 
types like me would 
love it.
   thanks!

Describe the requested feature:

Perhaps, it would be better to use the directory name in the reference link.
For instance, if i have all my figures on the figures directory, i prefer
to call my figures by ".\figures\Example.eps" instead of "Example.eps" alone.

[deleted issue]

The [pdftex] bit of this command causes latex-lab to be unable to compile 
my document. (It doesn't open the PDF-document as usually) 

If I remove the [pdftex] I can include images, but they are overlaying the 
text.

The short version looks like this:

\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage[pdftex]{graphicx}
\title{Kort repræsentation}
\date{}
\begin{document}

\includegraphics[scale=0.25]{BasisFest.jpg}

\end{document}

It would be VERY useful to be able to compile a LaTex document using text 
definitions stored in a Google Spreadsheet.   

You could just take any data/text stored in cell A1 of the referenced 
spreadsheet as if it were LaTex text. 

Google spreadsheet scripting could be used to prepare LaTex definitions 
stored in that spreadsheet from Google Form data. Dynamic document 
creation... :)

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Compile a document with more than one page

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
There is no space between compiled pages when using the online preview.
Perhaps includes some spacing would be great.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Firefox 3.6.3, Vista

Please provide any additional information below.
This is of course doesn't affect the exported PDF version.

After editing a document and executing "Save as new copy" I attempted to
rename the document by clicking on the document name at the top of the
page. First thing I noticed was that the name did not update to "Copy of
Document.tex" but remained "Document.tex". After renaming the document and
attending Google Documents, I noticed I had the original document with the
new name, and the new document still with the name "Copy of Document.tex".

OK, very cool to see this beta. Love to test more tommorrow. Best regards,
Roeland

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Missing functionality seems to be toolbars for basic functionality  like
bold, emphasize/italic, lists, bullets (project resources has an icon
easily confused with bullet list)
2. I'm used to lyx: button for adding a float with table or image with
subtitle would make things widely accessible
3. floating toolbars seem not ideal to me. They hover across text obscuring
it. To me it seems more sensible to clip it to top bar
4. Aaaahhh, were did the pdf go to?

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. You said you take a look about krean font some days ago.
2. But still i can't make korean pdf.
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
- I expected a correct pdf file including korea characters.
- But, i got only blanks instead of korean.

- IE8.0, Windows7

Please provide any additional information below.
- Additionaly, the chinese and japanese pdf can be made possibly.
- Refer to the issue 7 attaching my tex file and result pdf.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. When i upload .tex files they can't be edited by Google docs and latex-lab

Workaround:
1- i replaced all my .tex files extensions by .txt
2- upload the latex .txt files while keeping the option convert to Google
docs format
3- Now they can be viewed by latex-lab and Google Docs.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Question?
Is there any alternative and easier solution?

Hi,

Is it possible use bibtex/bst files stored in my google docs area ?

Best regards,
Nivaldo

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Menu->Compiler->Settings...
2.
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

I expect to be able to choose the "Use a local MikTeX installation",
instead I see the option unavailable (in grey).

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
+Windows Vista Business
+MiKTeX 2.8
+LaTeX Lab preview version

Please provide any additional information below.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. I'm using a main tex file using input{} command to include different
chapters
2. After compiling the first time, even if i made modification to one
chapter, the latex-lab still use the old version. I think he uses the first
compiled flles insted of compiling the modified files

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Instead of seeing a new modified version, i see the old version. the one
i've seen the first time i've compiled the main tex file.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
firefox 3.6.3, vista

Please provide any additional information below.

Describe the requested feature:

Perhaps in the future, using the new XeTeX instead of Latex, it is already
included by default in Tex Live and Miktex 2.8.

Thanks for the great work and new improvement, day after day.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. I have many \ref and \cite but i can't get them to work.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
For \cite, i can understand that it would be more difficult to deal with
but with \ref to equations or section labels, i really can't see why it
can't find them.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Firefox 3.6.3, Vista

Please provide any additional information below.
I compiled three time to get them but nothing. However, Table of contents
showd after two compilations, which is the normal. References and citations
nothing even after three compilations. I don't know if the "Compile" button
includes also "bibtex".
