This page contains links to various resources for writing semantics in LaTeX. Here are some key resources:
Being an old Unix guy, I edit my files in emacs (using a very old version of Auctex). For simple jobs, I can just run latex from the menu bar. For bigger jobs, I start up another window running a script that calls make in a loop. Here's the Makefile. Then every time you save your file, latex will run, and you can see the results by running ghostview latest.ps in yet a third window (got that?). (Going to pdf is annoying because, at least under Windows, you have to close your pdf viewer when you regenerate the pdf file.)
There are several other systems for managing your Latex editing workflow, such as winedt. Here's a survey I found. I'd be very curious to see what you guys do about this. (But beware, you will have to pry my .emacs file from my cold, dead hands.)
