Publisher's Description
From Blue Sky Research:
Textures is a programmable desktop publishing system for Macintosh. An interactive, integrated implementation of the TeX typesetting language, Textures is most commonly used for producing scientific articles and textbooks. Textures is also an extraordinary tool for fine typography, database and catalogue publishing and automated document production.
TeX, the typesetting engine of Textures, is an extremely powerful, versatile, programmable typesetting language created by Stanford University's Donald Knuth. Especially designed to automatically reproduce the quality of fine handset type, TeX is equally at home whether it is typesetting complex math and scientific notation, processing thousands of pages of mailing labels, or producing complex, book-length or even multi-volume works. TeX is a markup language, like HTML, that adds tags to ordinary text to identify parts of the document's structure.
What's new in this version:
- Find and Replace are now supported in the text editor.
- PNG, JPEG, and TIFF images are supported for display and printing.
- Document context begins to appear: each document's format is now remembered.
- Internal improvements to font encodings and document caching.

"Excellent progress - keep going!"
Version: Textures 2.2.0b11
Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
I used TeXtures extensively in the past under OS 9, and as of this version there is more than enough in the new version to get me to upgrade. The speed is excellent, flash mode works like a dream and I only miss the "go to error" and "go to line" features to be completely happy with it.
Those who have not tried this but who are in fact power users of TeX and need it to be fast, trouble-free, easy to install and user-oriented for large-scale production work should try this. Once it gets out of beta I expect it to be the TeX installation of choice for those who need all of the above features. (Not knocking the freeware implementations, but those who were power users of TeX in the past and who had gotten used to the feature set of TeXtures will know what I am talking about in terms of what it brings to the table.) -

I've used Textures to create a book, many manuscripts, and thousands of lecture slides. For me, Textures is an indispensable tool. This release adds to Textures' functionality. The one feature that I need and that isn't in 2.2.0 yet is support for hyperref.
