Take a look at Kile (http://kile.sourceforge.net/).

This is a LaTeX editor for Linux that is really really very similar to WinEdt,
and just as WinEdt, it will recognize your existing TeX/Ghostscript installation
when first installed.

I respectfully disagree. Unless there's been a massive change in Kile's
capabilities in the last 6 months or so, the only similarities are that
it's a GUI text editor that can invoke the LaTeX binaries. Don't get me
wrong, that alone puts it _way_ ahead of the "traditional" methods on
linux. But realistically, it's extremely underpowered compared to WinEdt.

I was interested and downloaded a .tar.gz file from their site.

Such a site witth .tar.gz files is a sure sign of highly developed
nerdiness, is my (probably wrong) impression. Still, I opened the file
and looking for a "program" to just drag to the dock, I got a readme
about other programming tools like KDE needed, something about "fink"
-- another gadget I never succeeded in installing and info about
compiling the source code, lots of files and folders...

It's just not for me and my PowerbookG4. WinEdt never unloaded such
gibberish on me.

BBedit seems to be an alternative editor and it seems there are even
some plug-ins to make it aware of TeX executables.

Groet!

Nothing wrong with your impression at all, Frans.  Sadly even
CTAN seems to be migrating in that direction, with READMEs
where one would expect README.TXTs and (worse) a Win32 TeX that
treats

	 \input testfont

as

	 \input testfont.

rather than

	 \input testfont.tex

Hi everyone,

Is there a way to cause the incremental search pop-up to start with
nothing in the search field each time you invoke it?  As it stands I have
to hit ctrl-I alt-S every time I use incremental search.

Thanks!

Best,
Eric

Hi,

Very off-topic on this list... but try this:

\usepackage[yourlanguage]{babel}

in your document preamble.

If you have more questions like these, I think it would be a good
thing if you read an introductory text on LaTeX... an excellent example:

www.ctan.org/tex-archive/info/lshort/english/lshort.pdf

For Dutch, I do that by adding
\usepackage[dutch]{babel}
to the preamble of the document, that is before \begin{document}


(this is not a WinEdt question)

For TeX/LaTeX questions try: http://tug.org/mailman/listinfo/texhax (but
also any one of the many introductory manuals that usually come with a LaTeX
installation)

A useful TeX FAQ list is: http://www.tex.ac.uk/faq

To start with, read the introductory text I suggested in my previous

(supposing that's your native language)

For questions you might have afterwards, some sources:

- for graphics issues:

While I am flattered by the (unexpected) interest in WinEdt's port
to Linux (or MacOS) I have to stress that this would be a tremendous
task for me. Even if I quit WinEdt (probably not a good idea) LinEdt
would take years to reach a similar stage. WinEdt has been heavily
optimized by replacing Delphi's VCL properties with more efficient
API calls or else optimizing VCL sources directly. This would have
to be rewritten and then tested with different flavors of Linux...

Even if this is somehow feasible there remains a task of preparing
WinEdt configurations for a new set of Linux accessories, fix all
the oddities when things don't work as expected or documented (they
never do). In the end LinEdt would not look or do everything exactly
as WinEdt because Linux is different from Windows. Changes (even the
ones for better) usually receive mixed responses from existing
users...

It is not a matter of my interest or desire but more a problem of
limited resources and already overwhelming requests for support and
future enhancements which I cannot keep up with even as it is. Thus
embarking on another project right now is not an option for me. To
illustrate, I am just wrapping up 13 hour session of addressing some
issues in my backlog correspondence and I am in no shape to reboot
my machine in Linux and do another 13 hours...

Finally, I see a switch to Linux as a personal decision which should
also involve one's readiness to adopt new software and the way it is
written, maintained and installed. In the open source (freeware)
community "tar.gz" and READMEs might just be a part of it (one gets
used to it after a while as I can vouch from my UNIX / emacs days).

Not really.

For the next build there is now an option "Reset Inc Search" in the
context popup menu of Find Dialog (where other options such as
Center Lines and Custom Font are already available)...

Dear Patrick,

having briefly seen all 16K+ of your requirements I can with some
authority say that you are not asking for a WinEdt configuration or
a simple functionality extension but rather a custom tailored
specialized application for your purpose (whatever this may be).
This is not a right forum to ask for assistance with such
realization (that's why there is [and likely will be] no response to
your "cry for help"). In fact, the very fact that your subproblem
includes parsing and displaying/ editing a Word file implies that
this is not really a job for an ASCII editor (even though WinEdt has
certain ability to parse and collect data in markup languages).

If you have any programming skills I suggest that you fire up your
favorite compiler and implement and polish the interface for your
purposes. In Visual Basic or Delphi this is not that hard. You'll
still have to find a way to parse Word's document (probably
converging it to RTF and then do some hacking on this file is the
way to go). Your editing Windows should probably be based on Windows
RTF control. But it is really up to you what you want to do with
it...

If programming is not your forte then you'll have to find and
motivate somebody that can do the job and is interested in spending
a few weeks programming and testing your ideas. Depending on how
many obstacles and hidden requirements are pending, weeks can easily
turn into months and the result may very well not be what you are
hoping for:-).

I suspect available people with these attributes will be in short
supply and there are probably none on this forum. In fact, asking on
any forum dedicated to an existing application is not a good idea
unless that application can already do most of what you want and it
is just a matter to seek some assistance with configuration. But
you'll have to do your homework first (although I somehow doubt that
you'll find anything in this direction and the second paragraph is
the only way to go). WinEdt is not configurable to do any of these
(it cannot even open a Word document) and it is not designed to
perform such tasks... Did you actually try it?

An extension of MS Word is really what you are asking for. Thus a
forum dedicated to Word (or word processor) is the place to ask. I
am not familiar enough with Word to know to what extend it is
customizable and what are its abilities to collect data and display
it in a custom interface (tree). Who knows, maybe it can be done if
you are willing to compromise...

Hope this clarifies things a bit.

Best regards,

alex

For anyone out there using a Mac, I have just installed Virtual PC
for the sole purpose of using WinEdt with it. I have a 15" 1.5GHz G4
Powerbook, and Virtual PC is actually *quite* slow -- I have 1GB of ram
on my machine,
and devote 256 MB to Virtual PC. The ram is not the issue really, since
Virtual PC plus Winedt only use about 120MB; the real problem is
in the computing power of the processor (I have heard that
Virtual PC does not run on G5's). So what I usually do is compiling a
file
using WinEdt on the Virtual PC, but I open the PDF output (when I
convert dvi
to PDF) using Acrobat for OS X (you basically run Virtual PC in a
window, while OS X
is still active in the background; Virtual PC allows you to share
folders between the two
operating systems).

I really have not found a decent latex editor for Mac. The best that i
have found
(so far) is iTexMac, but it doesn't come even close to WinEdt. Of
anyone has
a suggestion for a good latex editor for Mac OS X, please let me know.
I have just switched from PC to MAC, and the only thing I could not find
a substitute for is Winedt.

Actually this is not true---likely, but false in this case. I've done quite

Indeed, this is what I expected, pipe dreams I suppose.  In any case I've
been using nedit in the mean time (my laptop is down for repairs).  The
SunRay I use at work is nice, but I have limited admin and resources so
I'm unable to install a windows emulator or WinEDT.

As a temporary solution, I've thought about installing an emulator and
WinEDT in the system tmp directory (I have a disk quota).  However, doing
so means that others would be able to access it, and thus run my liscensed
WinEDT for themselves.  I don't think this is kosher with the individual
(student) liscense, is it?

Finally, when Id o get my laptop back I plan on convertinf ully to
linux--I'm pretty sure but would like to confirm that my liscense would
still be good if I run it on an emulator.

Perhaps there are potential other considerations. Have you considered
licensing the code to someone willing to work on a linux version? (given
that it might take four or five years to finish as a part time job)
(insert your own legal ramiffications over ip protection etc here) (This
is of course, after I presume you can not afford to pay someone to work
on a linux version directly).

I would have to dissagree with this last section here as being an
slightly outdate opinion of the unix world at its current point. There
are now many fantastic distributions such as Knoppix which run straight
of a CD, which have beutiful installers (five questions including "whats
your computer name"), package mangment is now absolutly awsome if you
want to use apt (debian) or rsynch (gentoo and others), whilst RPM is
still a little grr argh (Well I dont like it ok?). From a debian user,
I use a lot of non-free closed source software on my linux machine,
including (but not limited to) VM ware, the JVM and several proprietary
drivers.

this is not so much of a problem - admins in linux can usualy respect
the fact that things look different. If the functionality is to change
however, that is a larger issue that must be dealt with (ie how do the
buttons work with respect to internal code). Not a fork - the best idea
would only be to convert the base librarys so that the core code can
still be used on both systems, not to have a complete fork, where any
progress in winedt would be automatically lost on the linux version.

Hi,

I need to call makeindex with option -g in order to create an
index which is ordered according to german rules. I tried and
found the WinEdt files PDFTeXify.edt and MakeIndex.edt, but...

- I could not find out where and how exactly PDFTeXify invokes
   makeindex.

- it appears to me that MakeIndex.edt is not invoked by PDFTeXify,
   because I changed some lines there and it didn't have any
   effect.

- I would greatly appreaciate an option to switch on and off the
   -g option dynamically from MiKTeX or -- still better -- from
   the latex source code (perhaps using some \ifthenelse{}{}{}
   clause).

Any help?
Thank you!

texify will call makeindex, when necessary, as it will call all
applications necessary for compilation. That's the point of texify. So
WinEdt doesn't do anything, except calling texify.

texify --help

gives:

Usage: texify [OPTION]... FILE...
[...]
Options:
[...]
        --mkidx-option=OPTION     Pass OPTION to the index generator.

So, you want to change the call to texify in PDFTeXify.edt like this:

    texify --pdf --mkidx-options="-g" %N%T

I do not think that it is possible to pass switches from the LaTeX
source to makeindex. Instead, you could use a global register (e.g. %2,
if it is not used) to determine the switch, so that you can quickly
change it (in Macros | Variables).

You didn't mention the WinEdt build you are using. PDFTeXify.edt
has changed over the years. In previous versions, the relevant line
looks like this:

    WinExe('','texify.exe --pdf %$(''-batch''); %$(''PDF TeXify-Clean'');>
     --tex-option="%$(''c-errors''); %$(''-interaction'');" "%N%T"',>
     '%P', 'PDF TeXify ...', %!0, %!9, "", "%b\_Out.log", "%b\_Err.log");

which you should change to

    WinExe('','texify.exe --pdf %$(''-batch''); %$(''PDF TeXify-Clean'');>
     --tex-option="%$(''c-errors''); %$(''-interaction'');" >
     --mkidx-options="%2" "%N%T"',>
     '%P', 'PDF TeXify ...', %!0, %!9, "", "%b\_Out.log", "%b\_Err.log");

(For "%2", insert the global register you are actually using.)

The PDFLaTeX.edt that comes with the latest build will automatically
pass any switches to makeindex to texify, too. In the Execution Modes
settings, you can choose "Enter Extra Switches on Spot" for makeindex to
toggle the -g switch. Of course, you could also use the interface
described above. Then you should change the following line in PDFLaTeX.edt:

    LetReg(4,'%!4" --mkidx-option="%$(|MakeIndex-Switches|);"');

to

    LetReg(4,'%!4" --mkidx-option="%2"');


Hope this helps more than it confuses.

Robert.

Has any one tried to run WinEdt from Linux platform using Wine. I have
successfully run it but miktex is giving me a bit of a hard time. It might
be the solution to those who want to stick to Linux but are forced to use
some windows applications!!

Give it a go and share your opinions/experiences!!

Take a look at Kile (http://kile.sourceforge.net/).

This is a LaTeX editor for Linux that is really really very similar to
WinEdt, and just as WinEdt, it will recognize your existing TeX/Ghostscript
installation when first installed.
