TeXmenu SUMMARY:
TeXmenu provides a unified NeXTSTEP front end for Donald Knuth's famous
typesetting system TeX. TeXmenu integrates all the tools needed to use TeX
in one application, i.e. you are no longer forced to handle various tools like
the editor, the previewer, utilities such as spell checkers, and TeX itself
from different applications. TeXmenu offers a powerful project management,
including structure recognition, file handling and project search, thus
providing a convenient way of handling larger multi-file 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, get help on LaTeX, 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!
Distribution is done shareware-like (i.e. you are 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 (black hardware only)
remains in the public domain (although ``donations'' are still accepted).
LIST OF SOME NEW FEATURES IN TeXmenu 4.1:
o Multi architecture binary, both Motorola and Intel architectures
are supported.
o Added page numbers to the Watcher's output making it easy to find
over/underfull boxes in TeX's output.
o Several bug fixes.
o Template Inspector. Edit your templates from within TeXmenu.
Each template may now have a default Project Group and a default
folder. This means extremely convenient creation of new projects!
o Files included using \verbatimfile are recognized.
TeXmenu PRICING:
TeXmenu 4.1 is a free update for all registered TeXmenu 3.x and
4.0 users!
