This is XTeXShell Version 0.91, the X-Windows shell for TeX/LaTeX XTeXShell was written for all those people who love TeX, but hate the awkward way of handling it. The idea was to develop a system independent X-Windows shell, where you don't need to care about program calls, operating system dependencies and other stuff. Instead, you should have all the power and time to concentrate on the real task: producing high quality documents with (still) the best typesetting system for computers: Donald Knuth's TeX with Leslie Lamport's LaTeX extensions. Features: --------- - Hyper-text Help: XTeXShell includes a hyper-text help system for LaTeX commands - Interactive editor: The system includes a powerful, interactive full-screen text editor. - XTeXShell also supports your favorite editor (emacs, joe, xedit,...) - Widget support: Frequently used functions like TeX, dvips or spell checking your file can be started with a single mouse click Requirements: ------------- XTeXShell was written in the Tcl/Tk language with TclX extensions. To run XTeXShell, you need: - X-Windows (X11R5) - Tcl/Tk *with* TclX extensions - TeX (you surely want TeX/LaTeX; dvips, ghostview, xfig, psfig will be useful) XTeXShell was written and tested under Linux but should also work on other operating systems where Tcl/Tk and TclX run. The code is pretty stable now. The LaTeX help system is incomplete and needs further improvement. A manual will be released soon.
