Configure Engine

After installing TexSlide, you need to properly configure the LaTeX engine path.

Select Engine

Choose the appropriate compilation engine based on your presentation document requirements.

Engine	Scenario	Description
latex	English-only documents	The traditional PDFTeX engine with excellent compatibility, suitable for documents containing only English and mathematical formulas.
xelatex	Multilingual documents	The modern XeTeX engine with contemporary font system, supporting Unicode characters including Chinese, Japanese, and others.

Configuration Steps

Click TexSlide -> Preferences in the menu bar, then select TexSlide -> Formula in the Options panel.
As shown below, set the LaTeX path in the LaTeX Path Settings section on the right.

LaTeX Path Setting

Click AutoDetect to let TexSlide automatically search for installed latex, xelatex, and dvisvgm executables.
If auto-detection fails, click Edit to manually set the full path to latex, xelatex, and dvisvgm executables.

Select either latex or xelatex as your compilation engine based on your needs.
After configuration, click Apply. TexSlide will verify whether the configured LaTeX is usable. If the path is incorrect, a warning dialog will appear with the message: The path of latex is not correct!.
