In the proTeXt pop-up window, click the Install button next to TeXstudio Click through the installer, leaving all the defaults. Click Finish when the installer is complete. TeXstudio is a Office and Business Tools application like Maplesoft, Kutools Excel, and Simplenote from Benito van der Zander. It has a simple and basic user interface, and most importantly, it is free to download. TeXstudio is an efficient software that is recommended by many Windows PC users.
- TeXstudio has been forked from Texmaker in 2009, because of the non-open development process of Texmaker and due to different philosophies concerning configurability and features. Originally, it was called TeXmakerX because it started off as a small set of extensions to Texmaker with the hope that they would get integrated into Texmaker someday.
- On the top part of the TeXStudio interface is a toolbar with the File, Edit, IdeFix, Tools, LaTeX, Math, Wizards, Bibliography, Macros, View, Option, and Help options. The rest of the TeXStudio interface is the TeXStudio work area, where you can make a document. How to get TeXStudio? You can get TeXStudio by following the steps given below – 1.
When compared to applications like TeXShop or TeXmaker, TeXstudio certainly has more fans. Indeed this program contains all of the major features LaTeX users are looking for such as structure view, assistants for formulas, images and tables and many other useful features.
Many researchers have turned to TeXstudio as a free and open source alternative to other programs, most of them proprietary.
Texstudio Show Line Numbers
This program provides color syntax coding, an integrated PDF viewer, a tree view of document structure and can also auto-complete many of the standard commands LaTeX users may use. Another useful feature that this of course includes is a spell-checker and a thesaurus.
Though TeXstudio isn't necessarily an application built for beginners, it does include wizards and assistance from within the application.
If you want to try something new with many features users have been clamoring for (for quite a while), then TeXstudio is definitely a contender and it's a free and open-source project built by collaborators.
TeXstudio can open LaTeX documents, edit LaTeX documents and highlight syntax.

Notes and references[edit]
- ^'Source' means you see and edit the TeX source files. 'WYSIWYM' = What You See Is What You Mean, i.e. you see and edit formatted text. WYSIWYG means that see the output file automatically updated during the edit. Note that some PDF viewers (e.g. evince) automatically reload the PDF document when it is updated on the disk. So, any 'source' TeX editor can be turned into partial WYSIWYG editor by opening such a reader in an adjacent window.
- ^Not a full TeX editor. Only limited to math expressions only.
- ^Support for non-linux systems considered experimental.
- ^Notepad++ can execute Tex viewers
- ^Inverse search means that one can locate the relevant part of the source code from the viewer (e.g., double-clicking in dvi or pdf file brings up the appropriate line/paragraph in the latex code)
- ^On Windows some pdf viewers like Sumatra PDF or Adobe Reader don't use command line arguments for forward search, but the editor sends the document position to them using Dynamic Data Exchange
- ^Requires installation of extra package.
- ^A plug-in is required.
- ^LaTeX panel & Matrix panel
- ^Requires installation of extra package
- ^Starts up to previous state including the current editing point.
- ^RTL support means Right to Left language support.
- ^configurable as an option of the Emacs editor
- ^With usual section{} notation, Kile collapses equations and figures, but not sections. Collapsing of sections is possible with non-standard notation begin{section}{}...end{section}{}, but it eliminates sections from Structure View. An alternative possibility is bracketing sections with comments %BEGIN and %END.
- ^This will have to be set up manually.
- ^Provides a subset of the regular expression syntax implemented in the Perl scripting language, but fully supports Unicode ( Issue 194: Add advanced regexp options to Find/Replace )
- ^Template file in resource directory ( Documentation of the code completion feature )
- ^Starts up to previous state including the current editing point.
- ^RTL support means Right to Left language support.
