Texmaker is a cross-platform open source LaTeX editor with interface similar to Kile. While Kile uses the KDE Platform, Texmaker remains entirely a Qt app.

Features

New projects can be started with a wizard, creating letter, article, etc. formats. Texmaker is capable of inline spell checking. As of January 2011, Texmaker cannot add new words to the dictionary (or ignore a word in spell check). For that capability, TexmakerX can be used. The dictionary file used can be specified by the user. Like most other text editors Texmaker is equipped with a unicode editor to write LaTeX source files with syntax highlighting, undo-redo, search-replace. Some of the LaTeX tags and mathematical symbols can be entered with a mouse.

Another feature of Texmaker is creating tables, tabulars, figure environments etc. with quick wizards.

some other features:

• Document and section templates
• LaTeX-related programs can be launched
• BibTeX database management
• An outline or "structure view"
• Logfiles during LaTeX compilation and the ability to "step through" source errors that are discovered by the compiler
• An integrated LaTeX to HTML conversion tool
