TeXstudio is a fully featured LaTeX editor. Our goal is to make writing LaTeX documents as easy and comfortable as possible. Some of the outstanding features of TeXstudio are an integrated pdf viewer with (almost) word-level synchronization, live inline preview, advanced syntax-highlighting, live checking of references, citations, latex commands, spelling and grammar. Find out more at our website.

## Features


### Comfortable Editing


* Multi-Cursors

Tooltips show a preview of the code position.

* Link overlays


Filenames, references and citations turn into links when moving the mouse over them while holding <Ctrl>.

Also here, tooltips show a preview of the code position.

* Assistants for images, tables, formulas, ...


Generate blocks of code using assistants without the need for detailed LaTeX knowledge.

* Drag & drop support for images

When you drag an image on the editor the image assistant opens. From there it's just one more click to have the code for the image inclusion. Of course, we try to make the paths relative. This also works with multiple images.

* Table-formatting


You can copy / paste / insert new table columns with a single click.

The table-autoformatter aligns the table code.
