# Archimedes - LaTeX and Markdown editor

## By Matt Rajca

#### Description

Archimedes is a LaTeX and Markdown editor designed to make mathematical writing easy.

MARKDOWN EDITING

At its core, Archimedes is a fully-featured plain text and Markdown editor. It includes a fast syntax highlighter and provides convenient keyboard shortcuts for common actions, such as inserting images and links. With complete support for Markdown, Archimedes makes formatting and structuring documents elegant and easy.

MATH MODE + AUTOCOMPLETE

In Math Mode, Archimedes lets you write mathematics in a subset of LaTeX. Just enter  to get started. Over 700 intuitive commands, such as \sqrt{a^2 + b^2}, help you produce stunning mathematical output. Archimedes even autocompletes commands and intelligently matches closing braces, brackets, and parenthesis as you type.

MAGIC TYPE

Just getting started with LaTeX? Don't know the code for the asymptotically equal symbol? Use your MacBook's trackpad or Magic Trackpad to draw it! Archimedes will recognize the symbol and insert the corresponding code for you.

LIVE PREVIEW

As you work, a beautifully-typeset live preview of your document is always visible. You can even switch between horizontal or vertical orientation and select a custom theme.

MATH LIBRARY

Browse the math library to see all available LaTeX commands and their previews in one place.

MACROS

Archimedes lets you define macros -- or custom commands -- for the expressions you work with the most. Macros show up in autocompletion results right alongside built-in completions.

NAVIGATOR

Working on a long document? Use the Navigator to pull up a table of contents and quickly jump between sections.

SHARING

Share your work with the rest of the world via email, iMessage or AirDrop. Or export a PDF or HTML document to disk.

#### Customer Reviews

##### Very useful for working with LaTex, developer very helpful

This is working really well for creating LaTex documents quickly. I also really like the minimalism - your text content gets the most screen real estate.

The developer also responds quickly when you email him, and is willing to add requested features.

5/5!

##### Doesn’t have many symbols and can’t open .tex docs!

I’d like to rate higher, but this can’t even open LaTeX, it doesn’t use much of the language and doesn’t have many of the mathematic symbols like N the set of natural numbers or any of those types of symbols

##### Worth every penny

Absolutely love this application as an engineering student. The new icon is great as well!
