Version: 4.3
Hi, I am new to TeXmaker and just installed this latest version but I am afraid I need some help. I could not quick build the .tex file and the error is: could not start the command : "/usr/texbin/pdflatex" -synctex=1 -interaction=nonstopmode "trail2".tex For the previous version this problem could be solved by specifying the full path of the pdfLaTeX however it does not work for this version(4.3). Would any one give me some suggestions?
"/usr/texbin/pdflatex" -synctex=1 -interaction=nonstopmode %.tex

Version: 4.0.2
I played with other apps. But this is it.
Great little app. Does what it states, and does it well.
Definitely my preferred one for writing scripts, smoothly, quickly and easily.
And yes, it is free and the developer is really prompt in case of need, and also this is not something you may find everyday.
Thank you, developer.

Version: 4.0.2
This is a great TeX editor. Easy to configure, easy to use. I've all the basic features for TeX users.
There is a fork from TeXmaker, it's TeXstudio. TeXstudio is based on TeXmaker with some advanced features but MacUpdate doesn't list TeXstudio. I just mention TeXstudio for someone who would like to try.

Version: 4.0.2
The versions listed here don't tell the whole story. The dev's site has versions of 4.0.2 for both OS's 10.5 and 10.6 (they differ). Also, there is apparently a 4.0.2 version for native Lion+, and another for Lion+ upgrades.
I recommend you go there to see what will best suit your needs.

Version: 3.5.2
Works very nice.
No problem here and there.
IMO, the best tex-tool.

Version: 3.5
Excellent piece of software. I switched to this from TeXShop. The structure on the left lets you switch between files smoothly. The shortcuts are great, and the autocompletion rocks e.g. if you want to cite a book you just type in "ci" and it will autocomplete to \cite{books} where books is all your references in your bibliography. Simply pick the right one from the drop down menu. Saves me a lot of time writing my Masters thesis.

Version: 3.1
It is open-source and free.
It just does all the things I need, like auto completion, linking latex code with its corresponding PDF output, and compilation quick click.
It can also embed the PDF viewer, so that I can use the application in a whole screen without bothering to switch between latex code editor and PDF viewer back and forth.
Quite a good work.

Version: 3.0.2
Absolutely great job.
From the viewpoint of a scientist, TexMaker has the perfect balance between features and ease of use.
It works perfectly and is constantly improving.
Wonderful job.
Another excellent choice is TexShop.

Version: 3.0.2
This tool works very nice and is very easy to use.
The PDF viewer is a helpful feature.
I wish me a feature which helps to find the position of the cursor in edit field and shows me the position in the PDF viewer.
Thx

Version: 1.9.9
A recent blog post on how to make XeTeX work with Texmaker on OS X:
http://pim.famnit.upr.si/blog/index.php?/archives/18-Texmaker-and-Xetex-on-OS-X.html
Jan 6 2010
Version: 1.9.2
I tried it and like the two-pane layout, compared to having to position windows in TeXShop. However the built-in pdf preview is almost unreadably faint on my system (10.5.8 PB G4). Too bad.

Version: 1.7.1
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
Apr 24 2008
Version: 1.7
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.

Hi,
this program is very cool, the best i have found for the mac. it steels has a long way to equal Kile, but i hope it goes the same way... Kile is the very best LaTeX editor ever... only for linux :-(

Version: 1.4
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 voilà, 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).
May 30 2006
Version: 1.3UB
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.
