Kile is a TeX/LaTeX editor to edit TeX/LaTeX source code. It runs on Unix-like systems including Mac OS X and Linux with the Qt libraries installed.

[edit] Name

Kile means tickle or wedge in Norwegian, the native language of some of the Qt developers.[citation needed]

[edit] Features

Kile has many useful features needed to edit TeX/LaTeX source code, such as:[1]

  • One-click document compilation and display
  • Auto-completion of (La)TeX commands
  • Graphical lists of symbols for easy insertion
  • Templates and wizards for new document creation
  • Integration with the BibTeX bibliography manager

However, it lacks some features available in other editors:

It is to be noted that compare is automatically available through the external tool "Kompare" if this is installed. In addition, one can open multiple instances of Kile by calling "kile --new".
