14 TeXworks is an environment for authoring TeX (LaTeX, ConTeXt, etc) doc‐
15 uments, with a Unicode-based, TeX-aware editor, integrated PDF viewer,
16 and a clean, simple interface accessible to casual and non-technical
17 users.
18
19 It is inspired by Dick Koch's award-winning TeXShop program for Mac OS
20 X, which has made quality typesetting through TeX accessible to a wider
21 community of users, without a technical or intimidating face. The goal
22 of TeXworks is to deliver a similarly integrated, easy-to-use environ‐
23 ment for users on other platforms, especially GNU/Linux and Windows.
