But for the sort of work I do, it has all the facilities I need. It is not as powerful as WinEdt in it’s macro capability, and it only handles LaTeX (so no good if you want to use TeX, ConTeXt, or some other variant). I won’t use these but they might be useful to new LaTeXers. There are also wizards for figures and tables.
COMPARE TEXMAKER AND TEXSTUDIO MAC OS X
It works on Windows, Unix/Linux, BSD and Mac OS X įor beginners, there are lots of buttons to assist with fonts, mathematical symbols, etc. One click build process for LaTeX documents Tree view of document structure automatically created and highlighting my position in the document Īutomatically works with MikTeX with no configuration required Įrror list with automatic linking to the relevant line of the document
COMPARE TEXMAKER AND TEXSTUDIO PDF
Integrated pdf viewer with syncing in both directions So I’ve been looking around for another LaTeX editor, and after trying a handful of alternatives, discovered TeXstudio (previously called TexMakerX) which seems very clean and simple, but does everything I need. The last alpha 3 release was nearly a year ago. V2.0 is an improvement, but is very buggy and progress is so slow that I’ll be dead before it is released! It was announced in 2008, but there still isn’t a beta version. V1.0 is very cluttered and messy which drives me crazy. I tried TeXnicCenter for a while, the most popular freeware LaTeX editor for Windows. Jeromy Anglim has a nice post on configuring WinEdt 6.0, but it should work nicely without needing this sort of configuration. If a new person joins our research team, there is always a hassle getting WinEdt configured for their use.
These aren’t that hard to fix, but they shouldn’t happen. When a coauthor at another university has a request for help, it is much more difficult. I regularly have requests for help from one of my research team because something in WinEdt is not working properly - such as pdf synchronization problems, or it is using an old version of MikTeX that no longer updates, or that it has switched to using another pdf viewer without warning.
I’ve happily used WinEdt for all my LaTeX editing for about 15 years and I’ve encouraged my whole research team to use it. But I’m tired of problems with WinEdt that take up my time.
