TeXstudio is an integrated writing environment for creating LaTeX documents. Therefore TeXstudio has numerous features like syntax-highlighting, integrated viewer, reference checking, and various assistants.

TeXstudio is open source and is available for all major operating systems. TeXstudio has been forked from Texmaker in 2009, because of the non-open development process of Texmaker and due to different philosophies concerning configurability and features.

More than 1000 mathematical symbols
