LaTeX Snippets Collection

This post presents snippets that help make paper writing a breeze in Sublime Text 2 (see my earlier post on how to create snippets, this should also help you if you are confused by the overall structure of Sublime Text 2 snippets). Skip to the end of this post to download the snippets. You will need to copy them to your `Packages/User` folder. You can access this folder in the Sublime Text 2 menu by selecting `Preferences > Browse Packages ...`, and then selecting the `User` folder.

Useful LaTeX Packages

This reference introduces you to the LaTeX packages I load using a snippet every time I start a new LaTeX document (using the article document class). Before you read through my examples, you should familiarize yourself with the texdoc command. This command can be entered in a command prompt followed by the package you want to look up (e.g., texdoc amsthm). This will present you with a manual for the package in PDF form. A web-friendly alternative is https://texdoc.net/pkg/packagename, where packagename is replaced with the desired package (e.g., amsthm).
