@@ -35,6 +35,7 @@ For a GUI/ Desktop machine, you can enable to install and configure VS Code:
 - `user_lang_python`: Boolean to install Python dev tools and configure VS Code (default: false)
 - `user_lang_golang`: Boolean to install Golang dev tools and configure VS Code (default: false)
   * `user_lang_golang_gopath`: Install path for golang (default: "{{ ansible_user_dir }}/Development/go")
+- `user_lang_latex`: Boolean to install a LaTeX distribution and configure VS Code (default: false)
 
 By default, this role will run updates, install some essential tools, set up the user's shell and copy the dotfiles.
 If you just want to have the dotfiles managed by ansible, set `common_settingsonly` to true!
