How Texpile works, feature by feature. Everything described here runs on your own computer, on the files already in your folder.
Get started
Installation Install Texpile, then a compiler for the format you write in. Getting started Open a folder, pick a main file, and produce a PDF.
Editor
Visual editing Your document shown as formatted text, math, figures, and tables, and saved back unchanged. Source editing A code editor with Vim and Emacs keymaps, multiple cursors, and a math preview. Spell check Catches typos and grammar in your prose, and never flags your LaTeX. Projects and files The folder is the project: explorer, tabs, multi-file documents, search, and references. Comments Select anything and leave a comment. Threads follow the text as it changes. Version control Save versions of your project, see what changed, and restore an older one. Real-time collaboration Edit a folder with other people in real time, end to end encrypted, with no account.
Formats
Overview Which features apply to LaTeX, Typst, and Markdown, and where they differ. LaTeX The format the rest of these docs describe, and where its own pages are. Typst The same editors, with compiling and the preview through tinymist. Markdown The same editors, with no compile step. The visual editor is the preview.
Settings
Themes Light or dark mode, and a color theme for the whole window. Preferences Every setting in the Preferences dialog, tab by tab. Keyboard shortcuts Every shortcut in one place: the app, the visual editor, and the source editor. Integrations Other programs Texpile can talk to on your computer.
Texpile is free and open source, for Windows, macOS, and Linux.
