TeXPad, Texmaker, and TeXstudio are probably your best bets out of the 10 options considered. 'Fast and real-time PDF updates' is the primary reason people pick TeXPad over the competition. This page is powered by a knowledgeable community that helps you make an informed decision. And it didn't work on my mac. Or is it just a matter of what encoding you choose whilst saving your.tex file? Another question, do you think it's worth for a newcomer to invest (not really an investment since it's less than 17€) on a commercial editor/typesetter such as TeXpad (I've read a lot good things about it) or stick with the free ones in the beginning?
I am asking a very basic question. I am reading an Italian publication on LaTeX published by Jeronimo Leal and it gives links from where one can download the program of TeXworks. However I have a Mac and a Windows.
On Windows it has been installed as TeX Live while on the Mac as TeXworks (it has also TeX Live utility, TexShop). I do not have a DVD of the program because since I came to know about LaTeX only recently, they sent me the links.
I want to ask you if the one installed on the Mac is the right one since it does not correspond to the one of the Windows although it opens as the same windows. However the book I am reading says that it follow the TeXmaker. I do not understand the difference between TeXworks and TeXmaker. It says that they prefer to work with TeXmaker because of the lack of an instrument of creation of the macros. It also says that TeXworks is rather complicated. So I am very very confused. Can someone help me please and tell me from where I can download the program for the Mac?
Thanks a lot.
