TeXworks

If you are looking for TeXworks, you have come to the right place. We explain what TeXworks is and point you to the official download.

What is TeXworks?

TeXworks is a freeware, open-source, multilingual application that serves as a LaTex editor designed for building TeX front-end software that can be used for all major desktop OSs, particularly GNU/Linux, MS Windows, Mac OS X, and other X11-based operating systems. It is an environment or a graphical user interface to the typesetting system TeX and its extensions LaTeX, ConTeXt, and XeTeX. This software was developed by Jonathan Kew who modeled it on Dick Koch’s award-winning application software TeXShop for Mac OS X to lower the entry barrier to the TeX world for those using desktop operating systems other than Mac OS X. It requires a TeX-Installation: TeX LiveMiKTeX or MacTeX.

TeXworks has a Unicode-based, TeX-aware editor, integrated PDF viewer, and a clean, simple interface accessible to casual and non-technical users. The workflow is PDF-like as it uses XeTex and pdfTeX as the typesetting engines while the default output is in PDF format. It features a PDF viewer, so users don’t have to open other external programs such as Adobe Reader to view the output. It also supports preview synchronization – a feature based on SyncTeX.
