Texifier : LaTeX editor - Reviews, Revenue and Downloads - Apple App Store

Description

Edit and typeset LaTeX, Plain TeX and Markdown on your iPad or iPhone, no internet connection required, using Texifier, formerly known as Texpad.

Texifier is a LaTeX editor designed for straightforward navigation, editing and typesetting of projects of any size. Open a LaTeX root file, and Texifier will scan it, open any referenced files, extract the document structure for display in the outline view, and configure the typesetter according to the packages and tools used by your document.

Texifier's editor comes with a choice of themes, syntax highlighting, autocomplete of commands, including those defined in your document, and autofill for \cite commands, \ref commands and others. The powerful sidebar can show you a summary of your document structure allowing you to navigate through large multi-file projects with ease. Additionally Texifier's outline lists all labels, figures, tables, todos and it contains a powerful search function that can search and replace across your entire project using either normal text searches or regular expression searches.

TexpadTeX - Texifier's internal, no internet connection required, typesetter comes with PGF drivers, Native Fonts extensions, a Unicode and more, allow it to support almost any LaTeX package available. TexpadTeX also integrates a BibteX tool and a Makeindex compatible indexer for documents that require those tools. The integrated bundle manager takes care of downloading, installing and updating LaTeX packages for you, giving you access to almost the entire LaTeX ecosystem without using any more space on your device than needed.

TexpadTeX can run in Live mode, updating the output as you type, so you never need wait for a typeset to finish again.

For the rare cases of documents that are not compatible with TexpadTeX, you can use our free cloud typesetters. This is fully integrated into Texifier so press typeset, and Texifier will run the typeset in the Cloud, presenting the results just as if they were typeset on your device.

After all typesets, any errors in your document are organised in a table of issues. Tap on an issue to jump directly to the offending line of LaTeX source, or the line in the original log if you wish to read the original output.

Texifier works well with Files App, allowing you to store and work on your documents wherever you wish. On top of that Texifier Connect is directly integrated into Texifier for working across devices and collaborators.

Texifier supports Markdown along with LaTeX. Edit your document in Texifier's syntax highlighting editor, browse the document by outline, then when you press Typeset, the document will be transparently converted and typeset by LaTeX (using a standard template), giving you the informal ease of Markdown with LaTeX's ability to create beautiful and high quality PDFs. Likewise Plain TeX users can edit and typeset their documents in Texifier.

All-in-one

Exactly like the Mac app (99%, but believe me, I use it daily and it is just as good). They fixed the biggest flaws, by which I mean they made it like the Mac app. The real-time compiling is a true star of the show… just like the Mac app. The auto-fill that was trash, completely revamped…now it works just like the great one from the Mac app. What I’m trying to say is that this is the same app we loved, just optimized for a different system and they sure do keep up the good work. <3

TeXLive is out of date

Some packages are jaw-droppingly out of date. Core LaTeX doesn’t move that quickly, but the packages do. With such old package versions, TeXPad is only borderline useful for anybody who uses LaTeX seriously.

Mouse support

Mouse support isn’t good. Text selection works very badly as the screen will scroll even if you’re still selecting within one line.

Very unproductive to work with

I’m a great fan of Texpad on Mac OS, but on an iPad it is very difficult to work with. For example, even with an Apple Pencil it is nearly impossible to go to the start of a line to e.g. comment out a line. I tried creating a simple document (few minutes of work on my MacBook) but gave up after about 30 minutes.... I’ll just stick to Texpad on my MacBook.

zero points

“Typesetting failed out in the cloud. http error 0”. There is no http error 0. No help for this problem either. Zero points.

Good LaTeX environment

A good LaTeX environment for the iPad. Via dropbox sync with my desktop and does a quick typeset, even realtime if desired.

great LaTeX editor

Heading for my PhD thesis, I choose the LaTeX environment because of the mathematical & chemical formulas. This LaTeX editor on the ipad is so great and intuïtive, I prever it over my Tex environment in Windows, and with the dropboxsupport I can use both at choice. I love the way commands are extended, works even for bibtex cites. Also, the ease of working with multi-file documents is lovely. The compiler seems to be a bit more sensitive for the bibtex librarysyntax, generated via Mendeley, then the Tex compiler, and I didnot found how to generate a bibliography at the end of each chapter, which does work in Tex, but those are minor details, yet.
