What is LaTeX and what does Latexian do?

LaTeX is a language used for typesetting documents, including journal articles and books, most commonly used for technical and scientific publications. Latexian provides tools that assist in the process of creating an LaTeX document. These tools include syntax-aware spell checking, and Live Preview, which allows you to see typesetting results while you edit your document. If you need to learn LaTeX, here is a useful tutorial to help you get started.

How do I install Latexian?

Installing Latexian is as simple as a drag and drop. Just follow these steps:

• Once the download is complete, double-click the Latexian.zip file to decompress it. After decompression, a folder will appear that is named Latexian.
