For document formatting, a menu item leads to a form dialog where you can fill in the form with sensible information pertaining to your particular document, default font size, paper size, margins, and so on. If there are pieces of Latex code that you don’t know, or have a fuzzy knowledge about, there is probably an icon or menu item that covers it. First of all, the editor allows for native latex code to be entered. In contrast, TeXstudio leaves me with no reason to ever leave the editor. In LyX and TeXmacs, I needed to bail out of the editor, and export the code to LaTeX whenever I needed to do any serious equation editing or table editing or the like. There are two vertical toolbars there, also partially shown.įirst thing’s first: the editor. This is TeXstudio, with the horizontal toolbars shown, along with part of the workspace. ![]() All invocations of TeXstudio require a lot of time and packages for an installation of enough features. To this day I have not seen any difference in output or functionality. TeXstudio, once I discovered it, I installed it everywhere I could: on my Windows 10 and 7 machines, on my Linux installations, and even on Cygwin, even though they already had a Windows installation. The editors that showed up, at least for me, were LyX and TeXmacs. Soon after, I began to use a third editor which, if you are a latex expert, you almost certaintly would have heard about, and are probably in fact using TeXStudio, an editor that has been around for close to a decade, but never appeared to show up on Linux installation packages. Nearly three years ago on another blog, I wrote about a comparison of LaTeX editors.
