LaTeX editing tools
Editing LaTeX is very nice with WhizzyTeX but I seem to frequently get version/program conflicts where one or more of emacs/whizzytex/advi are unhappy. So I came across a variety of emacs helpers for writing TeX with a little less pain; I have yet to try them out so this list is as much for me as anyone else:
- WhizzyTeX - realtime preview of TeX in a separate window. This synergizes the idea of GUI word processing (the important part of WYSIWYG is realtime visualization) and markup languages (which beat all GUI's hands-down in terms of ease of editing complex documents).
- preview-latex - has an "edit" mode where you hack latex, then when you leave edit mode it renders a little preview. I haven't tried it in depth yet.
- AucTex - A nice LaTeX major mode (or so I hear)
