What LaTeX Editor do you suggest for Linux? [closed]

What LaTeX editor do you suggest? Could you please give me some links?

Solution 1:

I use TeXMaker. If you're using Ubuntu, it should be in the apt-get repository. To install texmaker, run:

sudo apt-get install texmaker

Solution 2:

Gummi is the best LaTeX editor. It is a free, open source, cross-platform, program, featuring a live preview pane.

Solution 3:

I normally use Emacs (it has everything you need included).

Of course, there are other options available:

Kile is KDE's LaTeX editor; it's excellent if you're just learning or if you prefer the integrated environment approach;
Lyx is a WYSIWYG editor that uses LaTeX as a backend; i.e. you tell it what the text should look like and it generates the corresponding LaTeX

Cheers.

Solution 4:

In Linux it's more likely that extensions to existing editors will be more mature than entirely new ones. Thus, the two stalwarts (vi and emacs) are likely to have packages available.

EDIT: Indeed, here's the vi one:

... and here's the emacs one:

I have to say, I'm a vi man, but the emacs package looks rather spiffy: it includes the ability to embed preview images of formulas in your emacs buffer.
