Vitela, the LaTeX editor that checks while you type

Field notes

Vitela builds document identities into a LaTeX-compatible format called ExactTeX: an annotation such as @id(sec:results) lets the editor connect references to declarations rather than treating them as unstructured strings. The homepage demonstrates a missing citation key, a cross-file rename that updates two references, and tracked suggestions that remain in plain text. It also says existing .tex files remain valid when renamed to .xtex.
