ShareLaTeX
|
|
==========
|
|
|
|
[ShareLaTeX](https://www.sharelatex.com) is an open-source online real-time collaborative LaTeX editor. We run a hosted version at http://www.sharelatex.com, but you can also run your own local version, and contribute to the development of ShareLaTeX.
|

Other repositories
|
|
------------------
|
|
|

This repository does not contain any code. It acts a wrapper and toolkit for managing the many different ShareLaTeX services. These each run as their own Node.js process and have their own Github repository. These are all downloaded and set up when you run `grunt install`
