i love my texmaker. http://www.xm1math.net/texmaker/ free and easy with linux, but not sure how it works on pc or mac

Wow...that is really nice.  I downloaded it for windows and am looking at an old exam I made.  Seems to work really well.

The side by side display of the latex code and the final PDF is awesome.  Thanks!  :)

anonymous · Answer

you know that  screen shot is the first time i saw the side by side feature!  i have not used it, or maybe my version doesn't have it. will have to check it out.  i imagine it would save on my typos considerable.

When I installed on my office computer that was the default setting.  On my home computer I had to enable it by going to options->configure texmaker then where it says Pdf Viewer I had to click on embed.
