## NAME

ktexmaker2 - a LaTeX source editor, TeX shell and Gnuplot front end for KDE

## SYNOPSIS

**ktexmaker2** \[ *generic-options* \] \[ *file* \]

## DESCRIPTION

This manual page documents briefly the **ktexmaker2** command. This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution because the original program does not have a manual page.

**Ktexmaker2** is a LaTeX source editor, TeX shell and Gnuplot front end for KDE.

The source editor is a multi-document version of KWrite for .tex and .bib files.  Menus and wizards are provided to assist with tag insertion and code generation.  A structure view of the document assists with navigation within source files.

The TeX shell assists with LaTeX and bibtex compilation as well as DVI and postscript document viewing.  It supports documents divided into several files.

The Gnuplot front end is an adaptation of the Xgfe program by David Ishee.

## OPTIONS

For a full summary of options, run *ktexmaker2 --help*.
