For Sublime Text 2:

import urllib2,os,hashlib; h = 'eb2297e1a458f27d836c04bb0cbaf282' + 'd0e7a3098092775ccb37ca9d6b2e4b7d'; pf = 'Package Control.sublime-package'; ipp = sublime.installed_packages_path(); os.makedirs( ipp ) if not os.path.exists(ipp) else None; urllib2.install_opener( urllib2.build_opener( urllib2.ProxyHandler()) ); by = urllib2.urlopen( 'http://packagecontrol.io/' + pf.replace(' ', '%20')).read(); dh = hashlib.sha256(by).hexdigest(); open( os.path.join( ipp, pf), 'wb' ).write(by) if dh == h else None; print('Error validating download (got %s instead of %s), please try manual install' % (dh, h) if dh != h else 'Please restart Sublime Text to finish installation')

2> LatexTools

This plugin can connect Latex with Sublime Text, and one can directly compile latex files in the Sublime Text, which can be really efficient.

（1）If your operating system is Windows and have already installed CTex on your computer, the PDF browser in CTex can be directly used as the default viewer.

（2）For MacOS X, one can use SKIM for viewing the PDF files you have written with Latex. After some basic setttings in the SKIM, you can connect Sublime Text with SKIM.

<3>LatexTab

This plugin can help people save a lot time when insert tables into Latex files. One can just copy the tables in the Excel and copy into the Latex file, then this plugin will automatically create the table codes for you. It is really awesome.
