TeXstudio

TeXstudio is a cross-platform open-source LaTeX editor. Its features include an interactive spelling checker, code folding, and syntax highlighting. It does not provide LaTeX itself – the user must choose a distribution of LaTeX and install it first.

Originally called TexMakerX, TeXstudio was started as a fork of Texmaker that tried to extend it with additional features while keeping its look and feel.

Features

TeXstudio's features include:[3][4][5]

  • Auto completion (also of newly defined custom LaTeX commands)
  • Scripting support
  • Assistants for images, tables, formulas (assistants offer GUI for visual and user-friendly creation of structures with complex code)
  • Drag and drop support for images
  • Template system
  • Syntax highlighting
  • Spellchecker
  • Integrated PDF viewer
  • Live-updating inline preview for formulas and code segments
  • SVN support
  • integration with the BibTeX and BibLaTeX bibliographies managers
  • Export into HTML
  • Document lexical analysis (e.g. word count, word frequency count, phrase count)

History of TeXstudio

TeXstudio was forked from TeXMaker in 2008 as TeXMakerX.[6] Changes in the fork were mainly in the editing area with code folding, syntax highlight, text selection by column, and multiple text selections.[7] The project was initially named TeXmakerX, starting off as a small set of extensions to TeXmaker with a possibility that the additions could be merged back into the original project.

The first release of TexMakerX was released on February 2009 on Sourceforge.[8] Collaborating on the Sourceforge community web site reflected a preference different from the original TeXMaker development community, who maintain an independent hosting site.[9]

In August 2010, concerns were raised about potential confusion between the newer TeXMakerX project on Sourceforge, and the older TeXMaker project at xm1math.net.[10] In June 2011, the project was renamed as TeXstudio.[11]

The TeXstudio community acknowledges that "TeXstudio originates from Texmaker", but "significant changes in features and the code base have made it to a fully independent program".[12]
