WinEdt is a powerful and versatile text editor for Windows with a strong predisposition towards the creation of [La]TeX documents... WinEdt is used as a front-end for compilers and typesetting systems, such as TeX or HTML.
Major new features in WinEdt 6.0:
+ WinEdts Interface (toolbar) has changed. A single button is now used to select and start the TeX Compiler of your choice. The drop-down menu allows you to choose from PDFLaTeX, LaTeX, XeTeX, TeX, AMSTeX, etc… Once you make your choice you can start the selected compiler by clicking on the button...
+ The new interface also features context-sensitive Compile and Preview buttons. Their meaning for TeX documents can be configured through the Execution Modes Interface...
+ Configuration Filters are used to make Menu Items and Toolbars visible or invisible depending on the configuration choice (MiKTeX, Tex Live, HTML, etc...)
+ Console Applications are by default executed in WinEdts own Console Window. This can be customized in the Execution Modes interface.
+ Highlighting now allows specification of environment-sensitive background colors.
+ Support for compiling MetaPost documents and Documented LaTeX (DTX)...
+ And more!
