TeX authoring app

TeXworks is an open-sourced authoring software for TeX documents. This free productivity app allows opening, editing, and exporting TeX files. It has an integrated and easy-to-use environment and features a clean and simple interface that even non-technical users can navigate. On top of functioning as a TeX editor, this program also has PDF viewing capabilities. TeXworks is heavily inspired by the award-winning TeXshop app made by Dick Koch. 

What is TeXworks?

TeXworks is a document management software that allows you to work with TeX documents. It boasts a user-friendly yet comprehensive design that makes loading, editing, and saving files easy. Tools are easily accessible and it comes with a large editing field, so you have enough space for writing and stylizing your content. The app is also Unicode, providing quick access settings for encoding styles. That also makes it easy to jump to any specific line of text on the fly.

The software also offers a large selection of helpful tools. More than the ability to jump to a specific line, there is also a search function, which allows you to find specific content. With this, replacing texts will be a lot easier. It also helps in copying and highlighting sections. On top of that, the app gives you the option to add and remove comments and even toggle line numbers

To customize your document, it also lets you change the font style. You can also display syntax coloring and even get to choose the type of auto-indent mode and smart quotes. As a TeX-based editor, the app also offers various typesets. As noted, TeXworks also functions as a PDF reader. However, it does not allow you to edit documents and the interface changes slightly when viewing PDF files to accommodate new buttons. 

Helpful TeX app

When you need to edit TeX files, TeXworks is an app that you can use. Despite its simple interface, it has a bunch of helpful tools that can open, edit, and save your documents. It can even serve as a PDF viewer in a pinch. Overall, it is a reliable tool that simplifies the process of TeX authoring.

In Softonic we scan all the files hosted on our platform to assess and avoid any potential harm for your device. Our team performs checks each time a new file is uploaded and periodically reviews files to confirm or update their status. This comprehensive process allows us to set a status for any downloadable file as follows:

Clean

It’s extremely likely that this software program is clean.

What does this mean?

We have scanned the file and URLs associated with this software program in more than 50 of the world's leading antivirus services; no possible threat has been detected.

Warning

This software program is potentially malicious or may contain unwanted bundled software.

Why is the software program still available?

Based on our scan system, we have determined that these flags are possibly false positives.

What is a false positive?

It means a benign program is wrongfully flagged as malicious due to an overly broad detection signature or algorithm used in an antivirus program.

We’d like to highlight that from time to time, we may miss a potentially malicious software program. To continue promising you a malware-free catalog of programs and apps, our team has integrated a Report Software feature in every catalog page that loops your feedback back to us.

Flag any particular issues you may encounter and Softonic will address those concerns as soon as possible.
