What does it offer? Let us take a look.**_ + +You can use a TeX/LaTeX editor for a variety of documents. Not just limited to scientific research, you can also add your code, start writing a book (academic/creative), or draft articles. + +An interactive solution with the option for preview, and several features, should come in handy if you regularly work with LaTeX documents. + +Kile is one such option by KDE, available for Linux and other platforms. In fact, it is one of the [best LaTeX editors available for Linux][1], which we decided to highlight separately. + +### An Open-Source Integrated LaTeX Editor + +![][2] + +Kile may not be the most popular option, but it certainly stands out for what it offers. + +It may not be the perfect fit if you are looking for a simple LaTeX Editor. However, it does its best to present you with a user-friendly experience while guiding you from the start. + +Let me highlight some features below. + +### Features of Kile + +![][3] + +As I mentioned, Kile is a feature-rich LaTeX editor. It could be overwhelming if you are new to TeX/LaTeX documents, but it is still worth exploring. + +The key features include: + + * Setup wizard to easily start using LaTeX editor. + * Available templates to save time for the document outline. + * Auto-completion of LaTeX commands. + * Compile and preview your document in a single click without leaving the window. + * Hundreds of preset modes to define the type of document (JSON, R Documentation, VHDL, HTML, etc.) + * Log viewer + * Ability to convert documents . + * PDF Wizard tool to add/remove and convert PDF files. + * Inverse and Forward search feature. + * Create projects to organize a collection of documents. + * Plenty of LaTeX options to add the required commands without typing anything (like creating a bullet list, adding a math function, etc.) + * Easy to navigate through chapters or sections. + * Navigate through the entire document using the small preview (if the document is too large to scroll) + + + +![][4] + +In addition to these, you can configure the appearance, tweak the keyboard shortcuts, find various encoding support, and more. + +Furthermore, the presence of setup wizards (and other wizards within the app) makes the user experience a breeze. + +For instance, here’s how it looks when you first launch the app: + +![][5] + +It will check for any configuration issues and help you ensure a seamless experience. + +![][6] + +Once the setup is complete, it will quickly prompt you with the available templates to get you started: + +![][7] + +So, the guided setup and all the aforementioned features should make up for an excellent LaTeX editing experience. + +### Install Kile in Linux + +You should find Kile in the default Linux repositories and the software center. For KDE, you should see it listed in Discover. + +Unfortunately, it does not offer a Flatpak or a Snap package. So, you will have to rely on the standard packages available from repos. + +In case you rely on the terminal (Ubuntu-based), you can install it by typing: + +``` + + sudo apt install kile + +``` + +For Windows users, you can find it listed in the [Microsoft Store][8]. + +If you are curious, you can go through the [source code][9] or visit the official site. + +[Kile][10] + +### Wrapping Up + +As a LaTeX user, you should find all the options useful for a productive editing experience. If you are new to TeX/LaTeX documents, you can still use it with templates, quick functions, auto-completion features to make the experience easy. + +What is your favorite LaTeX document editor?
