Setup VS Code for Scientific Writing with LaTeX

Use VS Code to write in LaTeX with the LaTeX Workshop extension
For written instructions and additional details, check out my blog post: vincent.codes.finance/posts/v...
In this video, we'll see how to setup Visual Studio Code for writing scientific papers in LaTeX. LaTeX is a popular typesetting language for writing an academic paper, thesis, report, and even presentation slides.
I switched to Visual Studio Code for LaTeX because I wanted to do everything research-related in one editor. Thanks to the LaTeX Workshop extension, it turns out that VS Code is the best LaTeX editor I have used so far.
Works on Mac, Windows, and Linux. Supports special features for dealing with bibliographies, BibTeX, equations, syncing between tex source and PDF, etc.
Other VS Code extensions also provide Zotero integration, if that is the reference manager that you use.

Latex is the past... and the future seems to be Typst.

[@VincentCodesFinance]

I haven't tried Typst yet, it seems to be gaining momentum. I wasn't convinced initially because I prefer having a full editor (for the same reason I don't use Overleaf...). But now that there is Typst support in VS Code and that Quarto added Typst pdf as an output format, it becomes a serious contender to LaTeX. I'll have to give it a go.
