[comp.text.tex] Editors for TeX/LaTeX.

riehm@maccs.dcss.mcmaster.ca (Carl Riehm) (03/04/90)

How about a discussion on favorite editors, word-processors.. for doing .tex
files?  
	I am using a combination of WordPerfect (for the draft version) and then
P-Edit for corrections and changes.  This works not badly, although it would be
much better to use only WP (5.0); the problem though is that I cannot configure
WP5.0 to give line numbers which do not start over after each page (and it seems
to be impossible to have pages of infinite length....).

Comments?                Carl Riehm.

I'm using JOVE 4.14 in C-mode.  Just can't get away from emacs.

GNU Emacs' tex-mode is more powerful than I've needed yet.  It knows
about LaTeX document structure (e.g. fill-paragraph knows what a LaTeX
paragraph is), and when teamed with ispell and ispell.el makes a very
pleasant document development environment.
