Code Block + Executable Code

Through the / menu, you can add Code Block into the document. The functions supported by Lattics code blocks include:

  • Syntax highlighting: include all mainstream programming languages, even Matlab

  • Automatic wrapping: no line wrapping by default, but it can be turned on in the code block style in the style template interface

  • Custom style: you can set the font size, border, background color and other styles of the code block in the style template

  • Tab indentation: You can use Tab to indent code lines, and you can select multiple lines of code and use Tab to indent in batches

  • Inline code, it can be added inline through the / menu, or added through Markdown's inline code syntax . Note that there must be a space between the two quotation marks.

Lattics will also support executable code blocks in the future, including Python, R, Julia, JavaScript, etc. Lattics is not responsible for debugging code, which needs to be done through IDE development tools such as VSCode. The executable code added to Lattics will be assumed to be able to run normally by default.

The purpose of Lattics supporting executable code is to achieve the result of tools such as Jupyter Notebook and R Markdown, that is, to draw charts and graphics by running code in the document, and even to interact with them, to improve the computability and interactivity of the document, and to export very high-quality academic papers and research reports, in which the data and code are reusable.
