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. 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. If so, it opens this pdf file in the Preview Window. TeXShop is a TeX previewer for OS X, written in Cocoa. 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. If the lines TEX-htmlPreview and or TEX-bothPreview are present, TeXShop searches the document. Since PDF is a native file format on OS X, TeXShop uses pdftex and pdflatex rather than tex. However the book I am reading says that it follow the TeXmaker. I do not understand the difference between TeXworks and TeXmaker. LaTeX editors such as user friendly TexStudio standalones like LyX ( an open-source graphical interface, also WYSIWYG-type editor based on LaTeX/LaTeX2e typesetting system. It says that they prefer to work with TeXmaker because of the lack of an instrument of creation of the macros. LyX was developed by LaTeX group and with versions for Windows, Mac and Linux. The best LaTeX software for scientific writing is the TEXstudio, TeXstudio is open source and is available for all major operating systems. It also says that TeXworks is rather complicated. I am a Mac user and use TexShop for writing.
