TEXWORKS(1)                 General Commands Manual                TEXWORKS(1)



NAME
       texworks - a simple TeX front-end program


SYNOPSIS
       texworks [OPTIONS] [FILES]


DESCRIPTION
       TeXworks is an environment for authoring TeX (LaTeX, ConTeXt, etc)
       documents, with a Unicode-based, TeX-aware editor, integrated PDF
       viewer, and a clean, simple interface accessible to casual and non-
       technical users.

       It is inspired by Dick Koch's award-winning TeXShop program for Mac OS
       X, which has made quality typesetting through TeX accessible to a wider
       community of users, without a technical or intimidating face. The goal
       of TeXworks is to deliver a similarly integrated, easy-to-use
       environment for users on other platforms, especially GNU/Linux and
       Windows.
