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).
