There are a variety of [[:Category:TeX editors|editors designed to work with TeX]]:

# The [[GNU TeXmacs|TeXmacs]] text editor is a [[WYSIWYG]]-[[WYSIWYM]] scientific text editor, inspired by both TeX and [[Emacs]]. It uses Knuth's fonts and can generate TeX output.
#[[Overleaf]] is a partial-WYSIWYG, online editor that provides a cloud-based solution to TeX along with additional features in real-time collaborative editing.
# [[LyX]] is a [[WYSIWYM]] document processor which runs on a variety of platforms including: 
## [[Linux]], 
## [[Microsoft Windows]] (newer versions require Windows 2000 or later) 
## Apple [[macOS]] (using a non-native [[Qt (toolkit)|Qt]] front-end). 
# [[TeXShop]] (for macOS), [[TeXworks]] (for Linux, macOS and Windows) and [[WinShell]] (for Windows) are similar tools and provide an integrated development environment (IDE) for working with LaTeX or TeX. For [[KDE]]/Qt, [[Kile]] provides such an IDE. 
# [[Texmaker]] is the Pure Qt equivalent of Kile, with a user interface that is nearly the same as Kile's.
# [[TeXstudio]] is an open-source fork (2009) of [[Texmaker]] that offers a different approach to configurability and features. Free downloadable binaries are provided for Windows, Linux, macOS, OS/2, and FreeBSD.
# [[GNU Emacs]] has various built-in and third-party packages with support for TeX, the major one being [[AUCTeX]].
