You can use Notepad but that's like torture.

You will be given an option to install packages on the fly or automatically. It's the backbone with the LaTeX libraries and styles.

It's a little time consuming to get set up perfectly but everything is smooth thereafter.

You need two things: the backbone (that has the instructions of how to form fancy looking documents) and a program to compile the code you write. LaTeX is not a proprietary software or some sort of stand-alone product. Since version 2.7, MiKTeX has maintained for XeTeX, MetaPost and pdfTeX and compatibility with Windows 7 and is presently being ported to GNU/Linux, with a beta version being available for testing.Where do I start?

It can update itself by downloading new versions of earlier installed components and packages, and it has an easy installation process. The name derives from Christian Schenk's log-in, “MiK for Micro-Kid”. It features easy installation, having a complete set of additions (programs, styles, fonts…) are available to help users typeset their documents, it has an integrated package manager installs missing components from the Internet, if required having an Update Wizard helps users to keep its system up-to-date by installing the latest package updates, it has a fast previewer, having well maintained package repository and it is an open source, meaning that users are welcome to redistribute MiKTeX under certain conditions.

MiKTeX is a typesetting structure for Microsoft Windows that is created by Christian Schenk. The latest version of ProText is 3.1 released last July 2012. This is a freeware IDE (integrated development Environment) application that focuses in Latex creation and alteration. Thru understanding more about LaTeX, users can productively use ProTeXt.
#INTRO TO BAKOMA TEX PDF#
LaTeX involves TeX and translation of XML and DocBook to PDF files. In order to utilize ConTeXt in ProTeXt and MiKTeX the users must install a Perl (ActivePerl and Ruby) in the users’ operating system. These are some latex editors that can be combined together. Although, the use of TeXnicCenter is highly discourage by some users. There are third party applications included in this downloadable file in CTAN website and those are MiKTeX, ConTeXt, Ghostscript and TeXnicCenter (now known as TeXstudio). The file size of the downloadable file is 750 MB. This is available in four languages namely: German, Italian, French and English. ProTeXt was developed by Thomas Feuerstack that works with Windows operating system.
