TeX Creator

Building an application or web page is usually done by writing tons of lines of code, and this can easily be done in text editors, later on being compiled by special programs. There are various kinds of editors, such as TeX Creator, which gives you the possibility to use the LaTeX language, typically used for scientific domains.

The application comes with two components, namely the LaTeX editor, and TeXSample, which is how you can connect to a dedicated online service in order to share your creations with others. It’s actually the first thing that shows up when running the application, but this step can be skipped until you’re ready with a part of your project.

By default, you’re put against a large variety of panels and menu, to make it easy to navigate through project elements, or even preset libraries, such as symbols organized into several different groups. However, you’re free to arrange them as you see fit, or even hide the console, PreTex, symbols browser, or client window, and enable them only when necessary.

The LaTeX language uses plain text as input, but you can customize the way characters are displayed in your own documents. It’s possible to work on more projects at a time, each held in its own tab for easy, and quick transition. What’s more, the application lets you save bookmarks for an even faster approach.

Basic editing options are put at your disposal, such as copy, cut, paste, or undo, and redo for going back a step in case you made a mistake. With the built-in search tool, you can quickly identify code of interest, or have it replaced with a different string. It’s also possible to insert autotext, with options for ComOverlayA, Execise, Ifnum, PdfSubSection, PictText, and more.

The console window mentioned earlier lets you compile your project into a final form. It comes with its own settings panel, which provides multiple compilers such as PdfLaTeX, PdfTeX, LaTeX, and Tex, and options to include additional commands.

TeX Creator is a powerful LaTeX editor which comes with an impressive variety of features to create your projects from scratch, or import existing ones, and use one of several compilers to build it. What’s more, your work can even be shared online with others through the TeXSample client, and there’s also a portable edition to use on the go.
