  Gummi is a LaTeX editor. It is a GTK+ application which runs on Linux systems.
  
  ## Features
  
  Gummi has many useful features needed to edit LaTeX source code, such as:
  
  * Live preview: The pdf is shown without the need to compile it manually
  * Snippets: LaTeX snippets can be configured
  * Graphical insertion of tables and images
  * Templates and wizards for new document creation
  * Project management
  * Bibliography management
  * SyncTeX integration
  
  However, it lacks some features available in other editors:
  
  * Compare (available in WinEdt, Vim-LaTeX (LaTeX-suite), TeXmacs...).
  * Graphical insertion of mathematical symbols (available in Gnome LaTeX, TeXnicCenter, Kile, ...).
  * Document structure summary (available in Gnome LaTeX, Kile, ...).
  
  ## Installation
  
  Gummi is available in the official repositories of various Linux distributions, such as Arch Linux, Debian, Fedora, Gentoo, and Ubuntu.
