Kile is a TeX/LaTeX editor to edit TeX/LaTeX source code. It runs on Unix-like systems including Mac OS X and Linux, as well as Microsoft Windows via the KDE on Windows initiative, with the Qt and KDE libraries installed.

Name and Pronunciation[edit]

Kile means tickle or wedge in Norwegian, the native language of some of the Qt developers.[citation needed] As such, its proper pronunciation is /kiːlə/ and not /kaɪl/.

Features[edit]

Kile has many useful features needed to edit TeX/LaTeX source code, such as:[1][2]

  • One-click document compilation and display
  • Auto-completion of (La)TeX commands
  • Graphical lists of symbols for easy insertion
  • Templates and wizards for new document creation
  • Integration with the BibTeX bibliography manager
