I guess different people will have different preferences, but I'm pretty sure even if I had never used LaTeX before I would much prefer this over having to create yet another account on some company's website.Ĭoncerning the editor/IDE: there are lots of them and people can recommend different ones, but of course the real answer to the question "Best Latex Editor?" is "whatever you are comfortable with". This takes much longer to install but it can save you from having to install extra LaTeX packages later on.)
(You can also type "texlive-full" instead of "texlive". Into a terminal (or use the graphical software installer), give your password when it asks, then start TeXstudio and start using it. An interesting note: Perl has been widely used in bioinformatics where they deal with lots of information in character string form, namely biological sequences of DNA and proteins I don't necessarily recommend this particular approach for anyone else, but I do recommend learning some Perl for any of your text processing needs. For example, suppose you want to produce a document where the equations are formatted in a different syntax than Latex? Simply add a new macro processor which targets a different syntax.
In cases where my script is not generating the right Latex code, then I might use TeXstudio for debugging purposes. The same applies to generating files for Gnuplot, etc. I also don't need to spend time learning the features of yet another program. The advantage for me is that I only need to remember one simple macro language, which suits me because I created it. This sort of job is not difficult using Perl, which excels in text processing. I preprocess the text file using a fairly simple Perl script which translates my original file into Latex before I run it through MikTex. I use a text editor (Notetab) and use my own set of macros to format equations, rather than type Latex syntax.
Even after trying TeXstudio I prefer the following approach.
