Well,

I do like a lot winedt, but it cost something. Many people install it and reinstall it each, I don't know, fourty days or so. I strongly recomend TeXNic. It is free (well, the project accept donations, but that's up to you) and is as efficient as WinEdt, and almost as friendly.

Of course, if you leave the windows addiction, you can find excelent editors in basically any distribution of Linux, a lot better than WinEdt and FREE.

Best,

David

The biggest problem with TeXnicCenter is that it doesn't automatically match up braces. Why an editor specifically designed for TeX doesn't have this basic feature is beyond me.

I use Crimson Editor.

Seems better but still doesn't quite equalize WinEdt (this is ok since it's a free product). It only matches up simple braces, not the dollar signs, or accolades ... Confused

Well I installed this 6.30 version and it does not highlight anything Sad

Does it not do it by default? I mean do I have to change some settings to do that?

By accolades I ment \[ ... \] or \{ ... \} or [ ... ] Smile

TxC hates people who don't like it.

I didn't perform any additional changes, but I installed it over 6.20. Really, for unknown reason TxC highlights only {}, (), [] and doesn't highlights \{\}, \[ \] Confused

accolade... chocolate... No one other associations. My dictionary agrees with me.

Probably you wouldn't want it to highlight \{...\}.

E.g.:

$|x| = \left\{ \begin{array}{ll} x \text{ if } x \geq 0 \\ -x \text{ if } x < 0 \end{array}\right.$

\{ with no \}. Now if it automatically matched up \left's and \right's, that would be cool.

I agree that you wouldn't want it to match \{ with \}, but I'm not sure why you'd want to use that construction when the cases environment already exists.

Every time I'm trying to run dvi. I have some strange error:
,,One or more error occured!
Please check the options!"
But options are not the problem because I haven't changed anything (program calls only). Same error on Winshell 2.6 and some older ones.
Any suggestions?

Dvi worked correctly at the begining. I didn't used it for some time and when I tried it I had this error :/
