Latex under windows
English version of the german text.
Programs for windows
- miktex: very good latex implementation. It is recommended to use the 'basic installation', which loads necessary packages from the internet.
- Download: http://www.miktex.org/Setup.aspx
- Important: use Programs-Miktex-MikTex Options and install the following packages and add-ons:
- Documentation-Latex2e Reference. Gives you context sensitive help in Winedt using CTRL-F1
- winedt, works very well with miktex. It is shareware, but well worth the price. Some features that set it apart from other editors:
- Understands the structure of latex documents and shows a tree of all connectec documents. This also works if you use macros to include files, after you have configure the proper macros for file inclusion.
- Very good spell checking support
- Can be set up to work as a portable app.
- Homepage: http://www.winedt.com/
- Recommended extension for winedt
- German spelling, even for the new swiss-german spelling.
- Installation guide: http://www.winedt.org/Dict/
- There are some useful plugins for inserting tables and graphics. http://www.winedt.org/
- Open source alternatives
- Texniccenter: http://www.texniccenter.org/
- kyle under linux is very good, if it only had support for custom include macros!
