Please see the comparison of LaTeX editors in Wikipedia for more details.Lowering the entry barrier to the TeX world Personally, among the above I prefer LyX, but more than LyX a true source editor as TeXworks (included with TeX Live) that showed easily a preview that can be synchronized with the source (clicking on the PDF go to the corresponding source, and vice versa). This is often the option preferred by many LaTeX novices (and several experts too).ĭisclaimer: The above programs have all Windows versions, but I am not tested any of these programs in any version of Windows. Again, this is not really a true LaTeX editor, but convert perfectly to LaTeX. The philosophy of a WYSIWYM is that you are not distracted from the contents by the LateX commands nor the final format. Similarly, LyX is a free WYSIWYM (what you see is what you mean) where the source text is formated according to the structure of the document (for example, the name of sections is showed with the final numeration and with a bold a larger font) but in far of a true preview because things as margins or number of pages are showed only in the preview of the PDF). I have not tested this software.Ī free option could be GNU TeXmacs that is a free WYSIWYW but is not a true TeX editor, since files are saved in TeXmacs formats, but include converters for TeX/LaTeX and other formats. There are licenses since 55$ but there are a evaluation period, so you can test for free if the ratio quality/price is enough.Īnother shareware program, Scientific Workplace is a WYSIWYW (what you see is what you want, nearly to a WYSIWYG) that import/export to LaTeX and other formats and include built-in computer algebra system. As far I know, one nice true WYSIWYG editor that is BaKoMa, although include also a source editor.
