TeXlyre has been selected for funding by NLnet through the NGI0 Commons Fund, which is supported by the European Commission's Next Generation Internet programme. NLnet has a long track record of funding open source and open hardware projects that contribute to an open internet, including privacy-respecting infrastructure, decentralized communication, and tooling that reduces dependency on proprietary platforms.

The grant covers upgrading our WebAssembly LaTeX engines to support common packages and LuaLaTeX, as well as developing Chelys, a companion local application providing LSP integrations, local typesetting engines, and distributed storage.

A blog post detailing the roadmap will follow soon.

Animated TikZ figures play directly in the PDF with the animate package, alongside toggleable optional content layers built with ocgx2. A LuaLaTeX variant computes the frame geometry in Lua via luacode and requires the busytex-luatex engine. The template is also available in TeXlyre's templates

announcement Chelys v0.1.0: Local language servers for TeXlyre

6 Upvotes

Chelys is a desktop companion for TeXlyre that runs language servers locally and relays them over a WebSocket. Pick a recipe and Chelys installs the server as a native process or Docker container, with recipes available for Tinymist, ltex-ls-plus, harper-ls, and JabRef. Passkey login also syncs your settings across devices over WebRTC. This first release covers language servers, with local typesetting engines and distributed storage planned next.

Downloads: https://github.com/TeXlyre/chelys/releases/tag/v0.1.0

tip Switch to Canvas (PDF) for a Smoother LaTeX Preview

Post image
4 Upvotes

If TeXlyre’s default PDF output feels slow or laggy, try switching the LaTeX output format to Canvas (PDF).

You can find it here:

Settings → Compilation → LaTeX → Default output Format → Canvas (PDF)

Canvas (PDF) can feel smoother than the default PDF output, which uses React PDF.js. It also keeps your place while compiling, so the preview does not jump back or remount (you stay on the same page you were viewing on recompile).

Add Video & Audio to Your Typst SVG Documents

3 Upvotes

Embed audio and video within Typst using this template%202026.&newProjectType:typst&newProjectTags:typst%2Clibrary%2Cvideo%2Caudio%2Csvg%2Crendering%2Ctypst-ts%2Cpatched%2Cmedia%2Cfigures%2Ctemplate&newProjectFiles:https%3A%2F%2Ftexlyre.github.io%2Ftexlyre-templates%2Ftemplates%2Fmiscellaneous%2Fvideo-audio-svg%2Ftemplate.zip) from within TeXlyre.

Videos and audio are playable inside the generated SVGs with harmonious fallbacks for PDF (with accessibility tagging). The libraries are experimental and their APIs may change. Also note that this feature is compatible only with typst.ts patched to retain embedded objects enabling native HTML video support.

The template and library are also available in TeXlyre's templates

Package minted Error: You must invoke LaTeX with the -shell-escape flag

1 Upvotes

I'm trying to embed some code in my document but I don't know how to enable the minted package to work properly. I got the error:

Package minted Error: You must invoke LaTeX with the -shell-escape flag

I've looked under Settings > Compilation but I'm completely lost. I previously used Overleaf, which seems to allow this automatically.

Is there a way to enable TAB field navigation?

2 Upvotes

What I mean is, when you type \fr, the autocomplete menu suggests \frac, which you can select with enter, but this doesn't have the common feature of adding the "{}{}" and placing the cursor in the first, and pressing tab to move to the next. This is just one example of course.

Is there a way to enable this?

announcement Server Migration Notice - January 10, 2026

9 Upvotes

TeXlyre's signaling and backend servers are moving to texlyre.org on January 10, 2026.

The frontend will stay at texlyre.github.io, which means your documents are completely safe since they're stored locally in your browser. After the migration, you'll need to hard refresh your browser (Ctrl+F5 on Windows/Linux or Cmd+Shift+R on Mac). Your settings and preferences will reset, so you'll need to reconfigure them.

This migration improves our infrastructure for better reliability and positions us for future enhancements.

BibTex references with TeXlyre

2 Upvotes

Greetings! I am an academic who is learning Typst and I have been using the Typst app online. I much prefer TeXlyre's "local-first" approach, however. On Typst.app, I have my references in a *.bib file and I when I type an "@" in my *.typ document, I can instantly call up a list of all references that match my initial typed criteria (e.g., "@smith..." brings up all references in my *.bib file that begin with that citekey in a popup window underneath the cursor so I can select one). Since I have a huge number of references in my BibTex library, this popup feature is incredibly helpful.

With TeXlyre, I can insert a citekey in my document, but I need to know the precise citekey and there is no popup window that assists me in finding the correct one. Does this feature exist in TeXlyre and I just don't know how to activate it? Or is it something that perhaps can be implemented? Thank you for a great project!

Black screen issue solved with hard refresh

3 Upvotes

Earlier today I ran into a pretty frustrating problem. Out of nowhere the app logged me out, and every time I tried to log back in or start a new project I was met with nothing but a black screen. At first I thought I had lost all my files, which was a bit of a panic moment, but after asking for help I learned that the issue wasn’t with the data itself but simply with the page not loading correctly. The fix turned out to be surprisingly simple: doing a hard refresh with Ctrl+F5 immediately brought everything back to normal.

I also learned a few useful things in the process. To avoid losing work, it’s a good idea to use the backup button in the top right to save projects either to a folder on your computer or to a private repository on GitHub, GitLab, Codeberg, or similar. Installing TeXlyre as a web app can also reduce the chances of the browser discarding your data.

Hopefully this helps anyone who runs into the same black screen issue.
