pycharm / texify in python projects

[swedishhh]

Hi, I work in a python project, and write-up research in latex. The documentation indicates I need to create a Latex project to use texify, but that is inconvenient for me. Is it possible to invoke it when I edit a .tex file next to my python code?

To invoke what, exactly? Which documentation are you referring to?

[swedishhh]

Invoke texify. If I'm in a python project the tex files just open in a standard pycharm text editor.

The documentation I used was this, the relevant section appeared to me to be : https://hannah-sten.github.io/TeXiFy-IDEA/installation-guide.html#starting-with-intellij

The question is: how can I use texify on tex files in a python project?

If you have the TeXiFy plugin installed and the files open as plaintext and you do not see the highlighting, then you maybe have reassigned the .tex file type to plaintext, check if Settings | Editor | File Types shows the correct patterns for LaTeX source file and Text

It is not necessary to have a LaTeX project, I will adjust the documentation.
