### Software/Tools
#### $\LaTeX$ and Sublime Text 3
My current setup uses [Sublime Text 3](https://www.sublimetext.com/3) and [LaTeXTools](https://github.com/SublimeText/LaTeXTools). My full installation guide is available at
[Setup for LaTeX and Sublime Text 3](http://www.danielherber.com/guides.php?option=latex-st3).
#### Online Tools
Here are some online tools that I occasionally use.
- [Overleaf](https://www.overleaf.com/) — Online, collaborative LaTeX editor (**my preferred online option**)
- [ShareLaTeX](https://www.sharelatex.com/) — Online, collaborative LaTeX editor
- [CodeCogs](http://www.codecogs.com/latex/eqneditor.php) — Online LaTeX equation editor
- [LaTeX Table Generator](http://www.tablesgenerator.com/) — Better than doing it manually although I still prefer LyX
#### Software
- [JabRef](http://sourceforge.net/projects/jabref/files/jabref/) is a reference management software that uses BibTeX as its native format. JabRef provides an easy-to-use interface for editing BibTeX files and for managing and searching BibTeX files.
- [MiKTeX](http://miktex.org/download/) (pronounced mick-tech) is an up-to-date implementation of TeXLaTeX and related programs for Windows (all current variants).
- [Texmaker](http://www.xm1math.net/texmaker/) is a free, modern, and cross-platform LaTeX editor that integrates many tools needed to develop documents with LaTeX, in just one application.
- [LyX](http://www.lyx.org/) is a document processor that encourages an approach to writing based on the structure of your documents (WYSIWYM) and not simply their appearance (WYSIWYG).
