Kile
Kile is a
user-friendly LaTeX source editor and TeX shell for KDE.
LaTeX is a
text-processing system derived from TeX, a program developed originally
in 1977 by Donald Knuth to help him layout his work professionally,
obtaining a work similar to a typesetter's.
Kile allows you to use all the functionality of
LaTeX in a graphical interface, giving you easy, immediate, and
customized access to all programs for LaTeX codecompletion, compiling,
postprocessing, debugging, conversion and viewing tools; you also get
very handy wizards, a LaTeX reference and a powerful project management.
The source editor is a multi-document editor designed for .tex
and .bib files. Menus, wizards and auto-completion are provided to
assist with tag insertion and code generation. A structural view of the
document assists with navigation within source files.
The TeX shell integrates the various tools required for TeX
processing. It assists with LaTeX compilation, DVI and postscript
document viewing, generation of bibliographies and indices and other
common tasks.
Kile can support large projects consisting of several smaller
files.
