 # texTemplate
+This is a nix flake that can reproducible build your tex document
+and configures some environments to write texfiles as nix devShells
 
-a latex template
+## Name
+There is a comment `# name to be used as indentifier for editor environments and such`
+Set the `name` parameter below to something sensible.
+
+## Dependencies
+There is a line with a comment above called `# LaTex package dependencies`.
+Here you put your latex package depencies (see the `nixpkgs.texlive` for working
+values.
+
+## devShells
+There is a `default` devShell you can set it to something different right now it is kakoune.
+
+### kakoune
+The default devShell gives you a kakoune with configured texlab lsp, and a zathura viewer
+with configured auto build and forwardSearch on save. Backward search is not configured right now.
+The relevant config files are completly contained in the flake, you can edit them to your liking.
+
+It starts kakoune as a background server. It is your job to clean it up afterwards. Also if
+you want to use the fzf plugin you should be in some environment that can handle shell windows
+(like kitty or tmux). And because of my old habit to start my editor as `vim` there is a alias
+that you should use called `vim` to access the started kakoune session.
+
+### texStudio
+This is what it sounds, it is a shell with texStudio available, it should autostart
+
+### texMaker
+The same as texStudion just with texMaker
