Latex editor with dictionary

Dear all,
I am looking for a latex editor for the latest opensuse that can have also dictionary support (and why not some syntax checking too).

What do you have to suggest me?

Lyx is very good.
Check out at LyX | LyX – The Document Processor

Thanks a lot for your answer :slight_smile:
Do you have an opensuse package for 12.1 ?

Get LyX 2.02 - the second on the list when I went to software.opensuse.org: Search Results.

It uses the LibreOffice dictionaries and thesauri - make sure you select the language in Document>Settings>Language to get the dictionary you want - and also make sure that you have the LibreOffice dictionaries you want installed.

Lyx is not really a Latex editor it has its own syntax. A latex editor
would be kile (available from the standard repositories as is Lyx).

And here are my 2ct:

TexMaker has been the best option I found for my needs so far. I use it with Xetex and it has syntax highlighting and a dictionary, and I think it is cross platform (even though I have used it only on OpenSuse). It is in the repos.

But I can load a LaTeX file into LyX, edit it - including spellchecking - and then save it as a LaTeX file; the interface is different from Kile which I also use because Kile is better for some things and LyX for others. LyX 2 offers a range of tools which aren’t available in Kile such as spellchecking - including in more than one language - change management and collaborative editing.

I can edit a text file in Libre Office or in Kate - each have features the other does not.

No doubt, I also use both kile and lyx for years. It just sounds a bit
indirect to me and I wanted to throw in a pure latex editor and spell
checking works for me well with openSUSE 11.4 with kile 2.1.

Also spell checking in several languages works for me in kile (english
and german in my case).

How do you stop it spellchecking the LaTeX commands?

Not sure what you point to.
The commands are not spell checked for me. But some of the options are,
for example


\documentclass[a4paper,10pt]{letter}

the \documentclass is not spell checked (and no other command starting
with ) but a4paper, 10pt and letter are (and marked as wrong when set
to german). I simply ignore that, though it is probably worth a bug
report or enhancement request since in


\end{letter}

it is correctly identified that letter is a parameter and is not spell
checked.

I see what you mean - unfortunately the document I tried it on was describing certain LaTeX commands. The spellchecker ignores them if they follow \ but not otherwise and, because it spellchecks parameters, it is not as straightforward a job as doing it in LyX though feasible if you accept its limitations.

LyX does not load latex files, it imports them. Not all features are
supported, or not interpreted exactly the same as expected. And then it
exports the file, in its own way.

Whether it loads or imports, since LyX 2 arrived I have had no problems editing he same files in both LyX 2 and Kile - I agreed that, under earlier versions, LyX did not always deal with LaTeX files as expected but I wasn’t talking about the earlier versions but about the current version.

I’ll have to try that.
