Achoz: will offer search and tools to reduce your data, keep it clean, fast and easy. in alpha development stage.

Auctex: AUCTeX is an integrated environment for producing TeX documents in Emacs. It allows many different standard TeX macros to be inserted with simple keystrokes or menu selection. It offers an interface to external programs, enabling you to compile or view your documents from within Emacs. AUCTeX also features the ability to place inline previews of complex TeX statements such as mathematical formulae. AUCTeX provides by far the most wide-spread and sophisticated environment for editing LaTeX, TeX, ConTeXt and Texinfo documents with Emacs or XEmacs. Combined with packages like RefTeX, Flyspell and others it is pretty much without peer as a comprehensive authoring solution for a large variety of operating system platforms and TeX distributions. The latest version is available via GNU ELPA. To install this package, run in Emacs: M-x package-install RET auctex RET

ChkTeX: ChkTeX checks for various syntactic, semantic and typographical errors in LaTeX documents, and helps the writer stay focused on the content rather than presentation or syntax of commands.

Cpp2latex: 'cpp2latex' converts C++ into LaTeX either for including into existing LaTeX documents or as standalone documents. The current version (2.0) supports syntax highlighting.

Csv2latex: 'csv2latex' is a file format converter that converts a well formed CSV file (like the ones exported from OpenOffice.org) to the LaTeX document format.

DHEX: 'dhex' is an ncurses-based hex-editor with a diff mode. It makes heavy use of colors, but is also themeable to work on monochrome monitors. It includes the Action Cartridge Search Algorithm to find specific changes.

Docutils: Docutils is a text processing system for processing plaintext documentation into useful formats, such as HTML or LaTeX. It includes reStructuredText, the easy to read, easy to use, what-you-see-is-what-you-get plaintext markup language.

The purpose of dot2tex is to give graphs generated by the graph layout tool Graphviz, a more LaTeX friendly look and feel. This is accomplished by:

Using native PSTricks and PGF/TikZ commands for drawing arrows, edges and nodes.
Typesetting labels with LaTeX, allowing mathematical notation.
Using backend specific styles to customize the output.
Dot2tex can also automatically adjust the size of nodes and edge labels to fit the output from LaTeX.

Dvipng: 'dvipng' makes PNG graphics from DVI files as obtained from TeX and its relatives. It is the fastest bitmap-rendering code for DVI files; on a fairly low-end laptop, it takes less than a second to generate 150 one-formula images. Furthermore, it does not read the postamble, so it can be started before TeX finishes. There is a -follow switch that makes dvipng wait at EOF for further output, unless it finds the POST marker that indicates the end of the DVI. It supports PK and VF fonts, color specials, and more.

Epix: 'ePiX', a collection of batch programs, creates mathematically accurate fgures, plots, and animations containing LaTeX typography. The input syntac is easy to learn. The output -- vector image files or LaTeX picture-like environments -- is expressly designed for use with LaTeX.

Fig2ps: 'fig2ps' converts xfig files to PS or PDF, processing text using LaTeX. It is intended to help typeset good quality documents, where the font on the pictures is exactly the same as the font in the text. You compile the picture only once and not every time you compile your LaTeX file (as with other xfig exporters such as eepic); this makes it much faster with complex pictures. It should work with LyX.

Glatex: glatex is a small program designed to help you to edit your LaTeX document files (sources, styles, bibliography, figures, postscript images, etc.). It maintains a list of all your editable files in order to allow you to edit them quickly. But you can also launch the compilator, viewer, and print commands, and it allows you to have document templates for creating new projects. It is not intended to manage the files themselves. For example, if you move a file from one directory to another, you'll have to remove it from the list and re-add it from its new location.

Gummi: Gummi is a lightweight LaTeX editor written in Python/GTK+.

Highlight: Highlight is a universal source code to HTML, XHTML, RTF, TeX, or LaTeX converter. (X)HTML output is formatted by Cascading Style Sheets. It supports Bash, C, C++, C#, COBOL, Java, Perl, PHP, and 40 more programming and markup languages. It is also possible to easily enhance the parsing database.

L2P: 'L2P' creates PNG images from LaTeX math expressions. It can work with either a fragment of LaTeX code (such as $\frac{x^2+1}{3-x}$) or with a full LaTeX document. It is designed to be fast, robust, and to offer the user a high degree of flexibility and control. It includes complete documentation.

LaTeX CD class: This class allows one to print CD covers using LaTeX. Its main features are easy batch printing with crop marks and track number generation.

Latex4jed: 'latex4jed' is an S-Lang file for the Jed editor which provides a greatly enhanced LaTeX mode designed with both the beginner and the advanced LaTeX user in mind. Its features include menus, shortcuts, templates, syntax highlighting, document outlines, integrated debugging, symbol completion, full integration with external programs, and more.

LatexB: LatexB is a very simple LaTeX building script. It lets you properly build a LaTeX file to either a dvi or pdf in one single command. It can also handle BibTeX.

OOoLatexEquation: OOoLatex is a set marcos designed to provide latex support into OpenOffice. Complex equations can be inserted as images, the latex code is saved into the image attribute while simpler equations are expanded into symbol characters to be inserted as text.

PDFjam.txt: 'PDFjam' is a small collection of shell scripts that provide a simple interface to some of the functionality of the pdfpages package for pdfLaTeX. The utilities available are pdfnup, pdfjoin, and pdf90. 'pdfnup' puts multiple document pages together on one physical page at a reduced size, 'pdfjoin' concatenates multiple PDF documents, and 'pdf90' rotates the pages of PDF documents.

PDFrecycle: pdfrecycle creates a PDF file by composing pages from other PDF files. It lets you define PDF bookmarks, scale and rotate pages, put multiple logical pages onto each physical sheet and add metadata. pdfrecycle uses a simple text file format to define the layout and what pages to include. From this input file pdfrecycle creates a LaTeX file and then runs pdflatex to produced the PDF file.

Pandoc: Pandoc is a Haskell library for converting from one markup format to another, and a command-line tool that uses this library. It can read Markdown and (subsets of) Textile, reStructuredText, HTML, LaTeX, MediaWiki markup, and DocBook XML; and it can write plain text, Markdown, reStructuredText, XHTML, HTML 5, LaTeX (including beamer slide shows), ConTeXt, RTF, DocBook XML, OpenDocument XML, ODT, Word docx, GNU Texinfo, MediaWiki markup, EPUB (v2 or v3), FictionBook2, Textile, groff man pages, Emacs Org-Mode, AsciiDoc, and Slidy, Slideous, DZSlides, or S5 HTML slide shows. It can also produce PDF output on systems where LaTeX is installed. Pandoc's enhanced version of markdown includes syntax for footnotes, tables, flexible ordered lists, definition lists, fenced code blocks, superscript, subscript, strikeout, title blocks, automatic tables of contents, embedded LaTeX math, citations, and markdown inside HTML block elements (these enhancements can be disabled). In contrast to most existing tools for converting markdown to HTML, which use regex substitutions, Pandoc has a modular design: it consists of a set of readers, which parse text in a given format and produce a native representation of the document, and a set of writers, which convert this native representation into a target format. Thus, adding an input or output format requires only adding a reader or writer. PDF output via PDFLaTeX requires the package texlive-latex-recommended, via XeLaTeX it additionally requires texlive-xetex, and via LuaTeX additionally texlive-luatex.

PdfTeX: 'pdfTeX' is an extended version of TeX that can create PDF directly from TeX source files and enhance the result of TeX typesetting with the help of PDF. If users do not select PDF output, the program produces normal DVI output; otherwise, it produces PDF output that looks identical to the DVI output. An important aspect of this project is to investigate alternative justification algorithms, optionally making use of multiple master fonts.

Preview-latex: The purpose of the preview-latex package is to embed LaTeX environments such as display math or figures into Emacs source buffers. By mouse clicking, you can open the original text. After editing, another click will just run the region in question through LaTeX and redisplay the new results.

Python-tex: Convert LaTeX or TeX source to PDF or DVI, and escape strings for LaTeX. This project is officially obsolete, information left just for historical purposes.

Rubber: Rubber is a building system for LaTeX documents. It is based on a routine that runs only as many compilations as necessary. The module system provides a great flexibility that virtually allows support for any package with no user intervention, as well as pre- and post-processing of the document. The standard modules currently provide support for bibtex, dvips, pdftex, makeindex, cweb, and graphics/graphicx.

TeXstudio: TeXstudio is a fully featured LaTeX editor. The goal is to make writing LaTeX documents as easy and comfortable as possible. Some of the outstanding features of TeXstudio are an integrated pdf viewer with (almost) word-level synchronization, live inline preview, advanced syntax-highlighting, live checking of references, citations, latex commands, spelling and grammar.

Tex2im: tex2im is a simple tool that converts LaTeX formulas into high resolution pixmap graphics for inclusion in text processors or presentations. Results look much better than the results of embedded formula editors, and you can reuse formulas from your latex documents. The program supports both black and white and color graphics.

Texcaller: Texcaller is an interface to the TeX command line tools, written in plain C and fairly portable. It has no external dependencies besides TeX.

Texmaker: Texmaker integrates many tools needed to develop documents with LaTeX in just one application. The package includes an editor for writing LaTeX source code files, an integrated LaTeX to html conversion tool, wizards to generate code, and the ability to insert standard Bibtex entry types in the ".bib" file with the "Bibliography" menu.

Tk Brief: 'tk_Brief' is a GUI for easily writing single or multiple letters using LaTeX. You do not need any knowledge of the LaTeX system. dinbrief, letter, KOMA, and brief styles are all supported and translations are available in German, English, and Dutch.

WikiLaTex: 'WikiLaTeX' lets you catalogue your LaTeX work as you develop it. You can easily change the order of pages and see the formatted document at the click of a button. You can very easily develop your documents like a database, cross-referencing your working notes with the text. You don't have to worry about the order or pages or topics until you're actually ready to print, but you can still get previews of the current page while you are working.

Winefish: Winefish is a LaTeX editor based on the Bluefish HTML editor. Winefish is designed for experienced LaTeX Users. It features autotext, autocompletion support, customizable syntax highlighting based on Perl compatible regular expressions, support for multiple encodings, wizards for startup, tables, lists, and other structures, a customizable toolbar for quick access to frequently used functions, and a custom menu to specify your own tags or sets of code and define your own dialogs.
