# Gummi (software)

Gummi is a LaTeX editor. It is a GTK+ application which runs on Linux systems.

## Features

Gummi has many useful features needed to edit LaTeX source code, such as:

* Live preview: The pdf is shown without the need to compile it manually
* Snippets: LaTeX snippets can be configured
* Graphical insertion of tables and images
* Templates and wizards for new document creation
* Project management
* Bibliography management
* SyncTeX integration

However, it lacks some features available in other editors:

* Compare (available in WinEdt, Vim-LaTeX (LaTeX-suite), TeXmacs...).
* Graphical insertion of mathematical symbols (available in Gnome LaTeX, TeXnicCenter, Kile, ...).
* Document structure summary (available in Gnome LaTeX, Kile, ...).

## Installation

Gummi is available in the official repositories of various Linux distributions, such as Arch Linux, Debian, Fedora, Gentoo, and Ubuntu.
