Visual editor

1. Visual / Source. Switch at any time. Undo works across the switch.
2. Toolbar. Headings and text style. The arrow at its end shows lists, math, tables and code. The Insert and Format menus have the rest.
3. Block handle. Drag to move the block. + adds a block below it.

Click a citation, a label or any other command to edit it.

Files over 800 KB open in the source editor.

Headings

The heading menu has Section, Subsection and Subsubsection, each Numbered or Unnumbered (\section*). A \chapter or \part in the file stays as it is.

Text style

Format › Text Style adds Small Caps, Sans Serif, Slanted, Text Size, Framed, and Kept on One Line.

Add a block

Besides text, headings and lists, the menu adds an Abstract, a Table, a Math Block, a Code Block, or Raw LaTeX.

Anything else

Any other command stays in the file as LaTeX and shows as a chip you can edit. To add your own, use Insert › LaTeX Source:

• Environment… adds an environment by name, such as center.
• LaTeX Code and Inline LaTeX add raw LaTeX as a block or inside a line.
• Comment adds a % comment.

Paste

Paste from Word, a spreadsheet, a web page or a screenshot, and Texpile keeps what it can. See Paste and drop.
