That can be edited with a GUI application. Will also serve you when writing longer and more complicatedĪ "desktop wiki" means that we try to capture the idea of a wiki, notĪs a webpage but as a collection of files on your local file system Track of TODO lists or to serve as a personal scratch book. Creating a new page is asĮasy as linking to a non-existing page. Other pages, and are saved automatically. Zim aims to bring the concept of a wiki to your desktop. I recently discovered Zim, a very interesting editor, that is meant as a note taker and organizer, that supports a sort of markdown and the insertion of mathematical stuff, and is WYSIWYG. Note that this can be a bad practice if macro names are hard to understand for those reading your code. Use an editor that suggest completion of phrases, e.g. I can think of the following ways to ease writing with LaTeX:
In using a markup external to LaTeX you'd need an additional program (editor or compiler) to pdflatex or whatever you use.I don't find this approach as awful as I find TeXmacs's, but still I find it far less desirable than the approach I described in my post.I suggest that you stick with LaTeX (only) for the following reasons: In other words, one can somehow toggle between the source view and the rendered view. My problem with both org-mode and AUCTEX is that they display the rendered LaTeX "inline", in a way that hides, at least temporarily, the source code. I'm sure there are people who like this way of doing things, but I absolutely detest it, to put it mildly.
their aim seems to be to keep the TeX/LaTeX out-of-sight. If so, please point me to a suitable how-to guide.Īlternatively, is there some other tool, one that I have not yet explored, that can do what I'm after?ġ Here, by "rendered" I mean the fully typeset output one gets if one runs latex path/to/mypaper.tex dvipdf path/to/mypaper.dvi.Ģ My main problem with TeXmacs is that it looks to me like it tries to be a point-clicky completely WYSIWYG MS Word-like equation editor.
It could be that, contrary to my first impressions, I may be able to do what I want to do with one of the tools mentioned above. TeXmacs, org-mode, AUCTEX), but none are/do quite 2 what I want. I have looked (very superficially!) at various TeX/LaTeX rendering tools for Emacs (e.g.
#LATEX EDITOR WINDOWS WYSIWYG CODE#
the arrangement of windows one gets by running C-x 3, aka M-x split-window-right), while in the SE sites the source code area is placed above the preview area. The only difference between what I'm hoping to find and what these StackExchange sites support is that I would like to have the source code and the corresponding real-time-rendered 1 output living in side-by-side Emacs windows (i.e. I am looking for a way to use Emacs as a LaTeX editor that couples a persistent LaTeX source window with an adjacent real-time rendered view of the LaTeX-encoded content, similar to what is available at several StackExchange sites (e.g.
