Visual editor, PDF preview, and a real terminal

Visual editing

The editor parses your .tex source, renders what it can, and leaves the rest as plain LaTeX.

  • Type @ to reference any equation, figure, table, or citation.
  • Equations render inline and keep their numbering.
  • Tables support multirow and multicolumn, edited visually.
  • Spell check skips your commands and math.

Intellisense

Source editor completing \cite with bibliography keys and titles

Texpile statically parses your whole project to produce intellisense.

  • Autocomplete for commands, environments, \ref labels, and \cite keys.
  • File paths complete inside \input, \includegraphics, and \addbibresource.
  • References update automatically when you rename or move a file.
  • Your own \newcommand macros are picked up.

Error log parsing

Texpile reads the compile log and the bibliography log into a Problems panel. Click a problem to jump to its line.
