TickleText was built to  run in Linux, 

NEW RELEASE!! Tickle Text 2.1 released 09/14/2008 (new features in bold text)
TickleText is completely "themeable", includes a dictionary, calculator,  and calendar, 
xterm, tclsh, python shell, and wish terminal.  It has template wizards for the creation of LaTeX documents, HTML (web pages) and, tcl, perl and python scripts.  It toggles line numbers and word wrap, preserves indentation, can insert a date/timestamp, count your words, goto line #,
insert special characters, comment/uncomment lines, find/replace, open multiple windows, open a browser to preview pages, upload/download pages via ftp to/from your webserver, export to PDF,  both from any text file,  AND from .tex (LaTeX) files, and convert LaTeX to html, and, now, it can even send a post to your Livejournal!   

Many functions have built in key-bindings for short-cuts, although not all the newer functions do.
Here is a sample pdf from a .tex file created with tcl text.
Here is a copy of the GPL output from plain text.

Here's the first post to my livejournal made with tickle text.
