DESCRIPTION
Texmaker is a program that integrates many tools needed to develop documents with LaTeX in just one application.

Features :

  • an editor to write your LaTeX source files (syntax highlighting, undo-redo, search-replace, ...)
  • the principal LaTex tags can be inserted directly with the "LaTeX", "Math" and "Greek" menus
  • 370 mathematical symbols can be inserted in just one click
  • wizards to generate code ('Quick document', 'Quick letter', tabular, tabbing and array environments)
  • LaTeX-related programs can be launched via the "Tools" menu
  • the standard Bibtex entry types can be inserted in the ".bib" file with the "Bibliography" menu
  • a "structure view" of the document for easier navigation of a document (by clicking on an item in the "Structure" frame, you can jump directly to the corresponding part of your document
  • extensive LaTeX documentation
  • in the "Messages / Log File" frame, you can see information about processes and the logfile after a LaTeX compilation
  • the "Next Latex Error" and "Previous Latex Error" commands let you reach the LaTeX errors detected by Kile in the log file
  • by clicking on the number of a line in the log file, the cursor jumps to the corresponding line in the editor
WHAT'S NEW
Version 1.9.2:
  • A "favorites symbols" panel has been added (just right-click on a symbol to add it to the favorites)
  • Users can now restore a previous session (when closing the program, the names of the opened documents are automatically recorded)
  • The bidirectional support has been removed (not enough stable)
  • Words can again be selected by using SHIFT+LeftArrow and SHIFT+RightArrow.
  • On macosx, opening a file by double-clicking on it in the Finder will no more crash the program.
  • The trouble with dark color kde theme has been fixed
REQUIREMENTS
Mac OS X 10.3 or later, Trolltechs Qt C++ framework 3.3 or higher (with thread support; an installer is available on the same webpage).

MKLJUN  XeTeX and TexMaker DO work together.

Texmaker -> Preferences

Under Commands use:

Latex: /usr/texbin/xelatex -output-driver=/usr/texbin/xdv2pdf %.tex

Under Quick Build use:

User: /usr/texbin/xelatex -output-driver=/usr/texbin/xdv2pdf %.tex|open %.pdf

LONDONSKATER  This is a pretty good product. My biggest issue is that I am unable to configure it to output with xetex, which is essential on OS X to use the OS X fonts. It would be great to have as an option in the prefs. Currently I edit with TeXMaker and output with TeXShop.

FREDERICD  Compiling TeXmaker has become very easy with the latest version of Qt (>=4.2):

- Install Qt (grab qt-mac-opensource-*.dmg from ftp://ftp.trolltech.com/qt/source/ )

- decompress the TeXmaker distribution and launch qmake in a terminal:

tar jxvf texmaker-1.4.tar.bz2

cd texmaker-1.4

qmake-4.2

open texmaker.xcodeproj

- build the project in Xcode (select "release build"), and voilĂ , you have the application in the TeXmaker source dir, just copy it anywhere using the finder, and delete the sources.

Since the Qt libraries are shared, the resulting app is quite small (1.4M on Intel).

At first launch, don't forget to give the path to various TeX tools in the preferences (I'm using MacPorts, so I had to change everything to /opt/local).

MBOISSON  A little bit hard to install on MacIntel. I had first to compile Qt 4.1.3 (with 4.1.0, TexMaker crashed at start). Then, I had to compile TexMaker, because the pre-compiled didn't find the Qt directory and I found no way of telling it where it was.

But I think it worth it. Way better than texshop. A lot of keyboard shortcuts, wizards to make tables and matrices and so on.

DADA1958  I like TeXShop a lot, I really missed it on my Ubuntu PC until I stumbled on TeXMaker 1.3 last Friday. I had problems with an earlier version so I sticked to Gedit for awhile.

I'm going to like this app, it runs smoothly on my Mac as well, the interface is great on both platforms.

The possibility of adding more than 10 user tags and integration with aspell would make TeXMaker even better.

I gave stability a 3 because it's too early to give a higher rating though it didn't crash on Linux yet.

Kudos for the developer!

HOTFREAKS  I really hate QT apps. I think I will stick with LaTeX-it for now; it integrates much better into other Mac apps.

J MICHAEL PINC  I've been fiddling with quite a few latex editors in the past few months (Grad school teachers are so demanding) and I have to say I like the layout of this one. If you could add Mac spelling check capacity with it, it would be perfect! I'd definitely recomend it.

PATANISCA  Perhaps the best tool of the genre for Mac OS X. Easy to use and more intuitive.

Two notes for users:

I did have to change the pdflatex config to its absolute path (got latex via Fink).

When doing a Save As, make sure you include the sufix (.tex or whatever), because the program doesn't seem to do it automatically and will later fail at compile time with no explicit warning.

Otherwise, great app!
