I've used Overleaf and ShareLaTeX multiple times, and now I've stopped using Overleaf and desktop apps completely.įirst off, ShareLaTeX is an online editor, allowing for access anywhere with an internet connection. It's still in early development, so it doesn't have any frills like project support, or any way of editing more than one document at once without running another instance of it, but I still love it. On that note though, if you're writing a large document, you can set up a bare-bones environment that will be used throughout your document, write each chapter individually and then just \input them into a master document in order as each one is finished, meaning your compile for each section you're working with should be fast enough to use gummi. The only time I've ever really noticed this though is if I have a good few graphics written with xy-pic to compile in the document, but in that case, you can use \OnlyOutlines to remove that delay while you're working on the text. It's handy if you're not doing anything too long since you can see where you've gone wrong as soon as you type it.įor longer documents that might take a while to compile (ie longer than a second or two, since you will notice this in gummi), I'd use Kile. You type your code on the left and the document is compiled using pdflatex in real time and shown on the right. Also see the CTAN starter page or the TUG introduction. Instead, get a good tutorial and work through it using a good TeX-aware editor. Of course, different things work for different people, but I have a lot of experience talking with people trying to get up to speed on TeX and LaTeX and honestly, it just gives a person an additional dragon to slay on the way to getting the document out the door. I see folks recommending some GUI programs.
modeled on TeXShop for Mac OS X, which is credited with a resurgence of TeX usage on the Mac.freely available for all of today’s major desktop operating systems.The TeX Users Group has sponsored the production of a best-practices TeX-aware editor that is simple but not too simple, called TeXworks.
