GNOME LaTeX (up to version 3.26 known as LaTeXila) was a TeX/LaTeX editor to edit TeX/LaTeX documents. It ran on Linux systems with the GTK library installed.

GNOME LaTeX has been discontinued on 5 April 2021[2][3] and since August 2018 "contributions are no longer welcomed and will not be reviewed or accepted".[4]

  • Auto-completion of (La)TeX commands
  • Graphical lists of symbols for easy insertion
  • Templates for new document creation
  • Project management
  • Summary of the document structure
  • Spell checking based on gspell[6][7]
  • Forward and backward search to switch between the sources and the PDF

However, it lacked some features available in other editors:
