TexLive
List of package sets
Since TeX Live consist of thousands of packages, to make managing it easier, NixOS provides the following sets:
- nixpkgs.texlive.combined.scheme-basic (texlive-combined-basic)
- nixpkgs.texlive.combined.scheme-context (texlive-combined-context)
- nixpkgs.texlive.combined.scheme-full (texlive-combined-full)
- nixpkgs.texlive.combined.scheme-gust (texlive-combined-gust)
- nixpkgs.texlive.combined.scheme-medium (texlive-combined-medium)
- nixpkgs.texlive.combined.scheme-minimal (texlive-combined-minimal)
- nixpkgs.texlive.combined.scheme-small (texlive-combined-small)
- nixpkgs.texlive.combined.scheme-tetex (texlive-combined-tetex)
(TODO: explain difference between sets)
Common problems
If LaTex (perhaps through Pandoc) complains about missing lmodern.sty, make sure you have at least texlive.combined.scheme-medium installed (-full should work as well; while -small worked for some, but not for all).
