This question is not oriented towards R, but is posted here because I have the impression that there are at least some Latex users among the contributors. The question is: What editors for Latex are to be recommended? I have located one: http://www.latexeditor.org/ What other alternatives are there? I am (for the most part) using Windows XP. Tom
For LaTeX I use the winedt editor: http://www.winedt.com which is extremely powerful and there exists an add-on for the use with R (but I prefer using Tinn-R for R). Winedt is shareware, you have a trial period of 30 days. It has an affordable price and discount for academics if I remember correctly. A very good freeware is TeXnicCenter: http://www.texniccenter.org/ There are many other editors being capable of LaTeX editing like Jedit (which has a LaTeX plugin), xemacs plus auctex and so on but the two mentioned are the LaTeX specialists and in my opinion easier to use. (PS if you look for a nice reference-library for the use with LaTeX Jabref is very good http://jabref.sourceforge.net/ free and works excellent together with winedt (inserts citation into winedt by mouse-click), has a connection to citeseer and medline for receiving citations, can import endnote libraries and so on and so forth) Tom Backer Johnsen schrieb:> This question is not oriented towards R, but is posted here because I > have the impression that there are at least some Latex users among the > contributors.

Thanks for the suggestion. It may be right for a newdie to Latex.

I recommend emacs http://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/emacs It has modes for TeX and LaTeX and automatically chooses the right one. As a side benefit once you have emacs you can then run R through ESS, the package that provides the modes for handling statistical languages http://ess.r-project.org/
You could also try texmaker. Runs on unix, macosx and windows systems. http://www.xm1math.net/texmaker/

Recommended packages for Editing LaTeX / R are: AucTeX + reftex ESS Jens
