Problem: all three built-in error parsers were broken against real compiler output. Typst set source to the relative file path, overriding the provider name. LaTeX errors go to stdout but the parser only received stderr. Pandoc's pattern matched "Error at" but not the real "Error parsing YAML metadata at" format, and single-line parsing missed multiline messages. Solution: pass combined stdout+stderr to error_parser so LaTeX stdout errors are visible. Remove source = file from the Typst parser so diagnostic.lua defaults it to the provider name. Rewrite the Pandoc parser with line-based lookahead: match (line N, column N) regardless of prefix text, skip YAML parse exception lines when looking ahead for the human-readable message. Rename stderr param to output throughout diagnostic.lua, presets.lua, and init.lua annotations. |

preview.nvim
Async document compilation for Neovim
An extensible framework for compiling documents (LaTeX, Typst, Markdown, etc.) asynchronously with error diagnostics.
Features
- Async compilation via
vim.system() - Built-in presets for Typst, LaTeX, Markdown, and GitHub-flavored Markdown
- Compiler errors as native
vim.diagnostic - User events for extensibility (
PreviewCompileStarted,PreviewCompileSuccess,PreviewCompileFailed)
Requirements
- Neovim 0.11+
Installation
Install with your package manager of choice or via luarocks:
luarocks install preview.nvim

FAQ
Q: How do I define a custom provider?
require('preview').setup({
typst = {
cmd = { 'typst', 'compile' },
args = function(ctx)
return { ctx.file }
end,
output = function(ctx)
return ctx.file:gsub('%.typ$', '.pdf')
end,
},
})
Q: How do I override a preset?
require('preview').setup({
typst = { env = { TYPST_FONT_PATHS = '/usr/share/fonts' } },
})
Q: How do I automatically open the output file?
Set open = true on your provider (all built-in presets have this enabled) to
open the output with vim.ui.open() after the first successful compilation. For
a specific application, pass a command table:
require('preview').setup({
typst = { open = { 'sioyek', '--new-instance' } },
})
