I would like to know if there is a tablet device (iPad, Nexus...etc) on which one can install a full LaTeX environment. By "full", I mean that:
- One can produce (compile successfully) from any
.tex
file the dvi or PDF file. - If any package is missing, one can install it manually (or better automatically, as MikTeX).
After searching on Google, it seems to me that there is no such tablet device. Most of the LaTeX editors on tablet device require an internet connection (i.e., they compile .tex
on a server). In this post, the author mentioned that TeX Writer (UK store) (for iOS) doesn't require an internet connection.
But it looks like it is just a LaTeX editor. I don't know how it works with LaTeX. (Does it provide a mini-LaTeX environment or something else?).
p.s. Of course I don't want to type .tex
file on a tablet device for a long time. But sometimes I may need to modify an existing .tex
file (e.g., when I find some errors in my paper).
