RapidTeXEdit is an editor for writing RapidTeX documents. It is written in Python/Tk and therefore runs on multiple platforms.
Check the following screenshot (you can click it if you want to see it bigger):
RapidTeXEdit is also capable of running the necessary applications needed to build PS, PDF or HTML documents out of the RapidTeX source. This however requires you to have RapidTeX and LaTeX installed.
Features of the RapidTeXEdit
Do note that RapidTeX's current version is 0.1 and is still in an early beta-stage:
- Good syntax highlighting for RapidTeX
- Support for insert most of RapidTeX's syntax with some simple mouse clicks and wizards.
- Unicode (utf-8) support
- Capable of building the resulting HTML file directly from the program, if RapidTeX is installed
- Capable of building the resulting PDF or PS file directly from the program, if RapidTeX and LaTeX/pdfLaTeX are installed
Planned features for the future
- bugfixes
- implement more wizards
Requirements
RapidTeXEdit is written in Python/Tk so requires both to function:
- Python
- Tcl/Tk (ActiveTcl for Windows)
- RapidTeX is only required if you want to be able to build HTML, PS or PDF files from the RapidTeX source
- pdfLaTeX/LaTeX is only required if you want to be able to build PS or PDF files from the RapidTeX source
