TeXstudio is a cross-platform open-source LaTeX editor. Its features include an interactive spelling checker, code folding, and syntax highlighting. It does not provide LaTeX itself—the user must choose a TeX distribution and install it first.
Originally called TexMakerX, TeXstudio was started as a fork of Texmaker that tried to extend it with additional features while keeping its look and feel.
History
TeXstudio was forked from TeXMaker in 2008 as TeXMakerX.[http://golatex.de/texmakerx-t2196.html TexMakerX] on Mein LaTeX-Forum (in German) Changes in the fork were mainly in the editing area with code folding, syntax highlight, text selection by column, and multiple text selections.[http://forum.mathematex.net/latex-f6/un-fork-de-texmaker-t8274.html Un fork de TeXMaker] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170517052311/http://forum.mathematex.net/latex-f6/un-fork-de-texmaker-t8274.html |date=2017-05-17 }} on "Forums de l'Informatique pour les Mathématiques | LaTeX" on MathemaTeX (in French). The project was initially named TeXmakerX, starting off as a small set of extensions to TeXmaker with a possibility that the additions could be merged back into the original project.
The first release of TexMakerX was released in February 2009 on SourceForge.[http://texstudio.sourceforge.net/#downloads TeXstudio News] on texstudio.sourceforge.net. Collaborating on the SourceForge community web site reflected a preference different from the original TeXMaker development community, who maintain an independent hosting site.[http://texstudio.sourceforge.net/#downloads TeXstudio News] on texstudio.sourceforge.net.
In August 2010, concerns were raised about potential confusion between the newer TeXMakerX project on SourceForge, and the older TeXMaker project at xm1math.net.[https://sourceforge.net/p/texstudio/discussion/907839/thread/bad18480/ Fork or buggy clone?] on texstudio.sourceforge.net. In June 2011, the project was renamed as TeXstudio.[http://texstudio.sourceforge.net/#downloads TeXstudio News] on texstudio.sourceforge.net
The TeXstudio community acknowledges that "TeXstudio originates from Texmaker", but "significant changes in features and the code base have made it to a fully independent program".[http://texstudio.sourceforge.net/#about About] on TeXstudio Home page
