Tcltexed is a "simple" text editor based on the scripting language Tcl/Tk.
Here are some key features of "Tcltexed":
· First of all everything a normal text editor can do as well. You can edit texts, copy and paste, search and replace, and so on.
· The command shortcuts are modelled in a kind of Motiv style and in the style known from DOS programmes such as edit, Borland Pascal, etc., or joe under UNIX.
· The external programmes latex, xdvi, dvips and ghostview can be started simply by clicking the respective button.
· Their output will be shown automatically.
· Syntax Highlighting with differentiation between known and unknown LaTeX commands.
· Standard LaTeX commands can be inserted into the text by clicking on a button.
· Mathematical symbols are shown as small icons on the respective buttons.
· In other words, you have the greek alphabet in front of you and a varepsilon can be inserted by one mouseclick.
· User definable buttons for frequently used LaTeX command sequences.
· When LaTeX commands are entered directly, they will be completed automatically as soon as there is only one option left. Typing fra for example leads directly to the complete frac{}{}.
· Similarly, open brackets will be paired with the corresponding closed brackets immediately. (can be turned off)
· When an environment is introduced into the document by begin{xxx}, this entry will be closed by end{xxx} right away.
· Larger text areas can be commented by using the mouse alone.
· Last but not least there is a reference list of LaTeX commands known to Tcltexed.
