Screenshot of TeXworks 0.6.6
TeXworks is an open-source application created as a GUI for TeX, a typesetting system that is the standard for creating technical publications. Without an installed user interface, TeX must be accessed through a command-line interface . TeXworks requires an installation of TeX to run.
The graphical user interface provided by TeXworks simplifies the process of creating TeX documents. Its design is based on other open-source, cross-platform tools to provide a familiar user experience. TeXworks provides an integrated PDF viewer to easily view your project's output with source/preview synchronization. With source/preview synchronization, you can control-click on a point in your PDF preview and see where it is located in your source.
TeXworks makes working with TeX more accessible than using a command prompt. If you are looking for a free and easy way to create TeX documents, TeXworks is a good choice. If you want more features like project management, you may want to look elsewhere.
