About

Kile is a user-friendly TeX/LaTeX editor by KDE. Kile gives you the ability to use all the functionality of LaTeX in a graphical interface and has interactive preview mechanisms to readily see the results of editing.

Features:

- Compile, convert and view your document with one click - Auto-completion of (La)TeX commands - Templates and wizards make starting new documents very little work - Easy insertion of many standard tags and symbols and the option to define (an arbitrary number of) user defined tags - Inverse and forward search: click in the DVI viewer and jump to the corresponding LaTeX line in the editor, or jump from the editor to the corresponding page in the viewer - Finding chapter or sections is very easy, Kile constructs a list of all the chapter etc. in your document. You can use the list to jump to the corresponding section - Collect documents that belong together into a project - Easy insertion of citations and references when using projects - Flexible and smart build system to compile your LaTeX documents - QuickPreview: preview a selected part of your document - Easy access to various help sources - Advanced editing commands
