LaTeX is not a stand-alone typesetting program in itself, but document preparation software that runs on top of Donald E. If your network is noisy, you might want to try downloading and installing BasicTeX. Complaining to us that your download always fails is a waste of time. The TeX User Group does not run the distribution servers they are maintained by an entirely separate organization called CTAN. In addition to syntax highlighting, you can block comment/un-comment, block indent/un-indent and spell-check as you type. Bundled with Texpad are a number of themes that allow you to change the look of the editor. Texpad”s editor is LaTeX and BibTeX aware and highlights your code to make it easy to write it. If you run into trouble, visit the help section. LaTeX is distributed through CTAN servers or comes as part of many easily installable and usable TeX distributions provided by the TeX User Group (TUG) or third parties. LaTeX is free software under the terms of the LaTeX Project Public License (LPPL).
