Description

Edit and typeset LaTeX, Plain TeX and Markdown on your iPad or iPhone, no internet connection required, using Texifier, formerly known as Texpad.

Texifier is a LaTeX editor designed for straightforward navigation, editing and typesetting of projects of any size. Open a LaTeX root file, and Texifier will scan it, open any referenced files, extract the document structure for display in the outline view, and configure the typesetter according to the packages and tools used by your document.

Texifier's editor comes with a choice of themes, syntax highlighting, autocomplete of commands, including those defined in your document, and autofill for \cite commands, \ref commands and others. The powerful sidebar can show you a summary of your document structure allowing you to navigate through large multi-file projects with ease. Additionally Texifier's outline lists all labels, figures, tables, todos and it contains a powerful search function that can search and replace across your entire project using either normal text searches or regular expression searches.

TexpadTeX - Texifier's internal, no internet connection required, typesetter comes with PGF drivers, Native Fonts extensions, a Unicode and more, allow it to support almost any LaTeX package available. TexpadTeX also integrates a BibteX tool and a Makeindex compatible indexer for documents that require those tools. The integrated bundle manager takes care of downloading, installing and updating LaTeX packages for you, giving you access to almost the entire LaTeX ecosystem without using any more space on your device than needed.

TexpadTeX can run in Live mode, updating the output as you type, so you never need wait for a typeset to finish again.

For the rare cases of documents that are not compatible with TexpadTeX, you can use our free cloud typesetters. This is fully integrated into Texifier so press typeset, and Texifier will run the typeset in the Cloud, presenting the results just as if they were typeset on your device.

After all typesets, any errors in your document are organised in a table of issues. Tap on an issue to jump directly to the offending line of LaTeX source, or the line in the original log if you wish to read the original output.

Texifier works well with Files App, allowing you to store and work on your documents wherever you wish. On top of that Texifier Connect is directly integrated into Texifier for working across devices and collaborators.

Texifier supports Markdown along with LaTeX. Edit your document in Texifier's syntax highlighting editor, browse the document by outline, then when you press Typeset, the document will be transparently converted and typeset by LaTeX (using a standard template), giving you the informal ease of Markdown with LaTeX's ability to create beautiful and high quality PDFs. Likewise Plain TeX users can edit and typeset their documents in Texifier.

- Universal binary for iPhone and iPad, optimised for the latest generation of devices.

- Navigate easily through even the largest projects using the Outline view
- Search all files by string or regex with the global search view

- Use iOS Files app to edit documents in any storage that supports file or folder access

Great app

I have been waiting for this app for a long time. Finally I can write Latex documents on my iPad and also edit the thousands of other Tex documents that reside in dropbox and which I have written on various computers and laptops ever since 1986, when I got my first PC and Tex system.
The error log is much better than on other Tex systems, and the editing is intuitive and self explanatory.
There are two ways of typesetting a document. If there is internet connection the typesetting can be done in the cloud by a remote system operated by the vendors of the app. It supports a full Tex system with all possible packages, and it works flawlessly albeit slower than on a local computer.
Then there is a local typesetting option to be used, when there is no internet connection for example on an air plane. It only has a very limited functionality, and it is useless to me. I have not found a single Tex file in my library that can be typeset by the local typesetting option.
The concern is obviously to save memory on the iPad. However, I still have 40 GB left on my iPad, and I would not mind to reserve 4-5 GB to get full functionality in local typesetting. At least it should be an option for those users for which Tex is the primary working system. I rarely uses other editing software.

Texfier

I have used it since 2015.
Suddenly it has stopped compiling properly.
I have not the slightest idea why.
I hope for an update solving the problems!
If not i have to quit the program. I am sad!

Barely functional

Syncing a multi file project with iCloud is finicky at best, and with multi file projects its a mess.
Typesetting with cloud typeset is also a mixed bag, right now my multi file project does not typeset at all.
Scrolling in the PDF is very unstable, with scrolling synced the app crashes consistently other times the PDF randomly shows blank pages.
Some focus on stability would be highly appreciated.
