Visual editor, PDF preview, and a real terminal
Live preview
The page updates as you type, compiled by your own LaTeX. No manual compile, no cloud. Math, TikZ, and pgfplots figures render live.
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
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.

FAQ
PS
Texpile is pronounced with the tex from text (tex-pile). The name is a blend of compiling LaTeX and transpiling it. We write it Texpile, not TeXpile.
