TEXMENU VERSION 3.0 FOR NeXTSTEP 3.0
TeXmenu provides a unified NeXTSTEP front end for Donald Knuth's
famous typesetting system TeX. TeXmenu integrates the tools and
applications someone needs to use TeX in *one* application, i.e. the
user is no longer forced to handle the various tools like the editor,
the previewer, utilities such as spell checkers, and TeX itself from
different applications. TeXmenu offers a powerful project managment to
the user including structure recognition, file handling, and project
search, and is especially useful for larger multifile documents.
TeXmenu is designed as an ``open'' application, i.e. it does not
depend on any version specific features of TeX, viewers, editors (and
friends) and is widely customizable. TeXmenu offers services so the
user can keep in touch with it from any other application, translate
his/her current project, any file or even screen selections. When
running TeX in the background TeXmenu alerts the user when an error
occurs and offers a convenient way to jump between the error message
and location of the error, as well as letting the user continue the
translation afterwards!
I have spent far too much time so far for a free product. TeXmenu
changes in version 3.0 to non-free software. Distribution is done
shareware-like (i.e. you're allowed to copy a unregistered version
provided you're running it in demo-mode) but TeXmenu will have some
annoying ``features'' until you register your copy of it. Similarly,
TeXmenu comes ``shareware priced.'' For those who want a good TeX
front end without paying anything for it, TeXmenu version 2.2 remains
in the public domain (although ``donations'' are still accepted).
Changes from 3.0-2.1 to 3.0-3.0:
+ TeXmenu3.0 for NeXTSTEP Release 3.0 is a full 3.0 application.
It includes NeXTSTEP help with a LaTeX index!
+ New Service ``Help on LaTeX'' to get a quick reference from
within Edit similarly to Digital Librarian's ``Search''
service.
o Convenient path configuration of TeXInput and BibInput.
o Support for Adobe Illustrator pictures (extension .ai).
+ First class support for AmSLaTeX.
o .editdict with LaTeX commands by Derek Beatty (this file may
be redistributed freely).
GIVE IT A TRY!
