Welcome to Qute!

Qute is a text editor with Markdown and TeX support. Qute offers per paragraph preview, i.e., users can switch between editing the source and viewing a rich text rendering with typeset formulas for each paragraph separately. Other features are a minimalist interface, several themes and a fullscreen mode for distraction-free writing.

Qute is built with web technologies, using Chromeless, Showdown and MathJax.

Qute is licensed under the AGPL version 3.

Compiling

The are compiling instructions for Linux. Adapt for Windows and OS X by reading the scripts mentioned below.

Prerequisite: you need to have git installed on your system.
