Overview
LaTeX is a typesetting system that is widely used by the science community for document preparation and publications. The Eclipse TeXlipse project provides an Eclipse extension to support LaTex projects, so that document preparation can be incorporated into the normal Eclipse development activities. General LaTeX users will also find the advanced editing and automatic document generation features of TeXlipse provide a compelling alternative to other LaTeX environments.
