This is because for this platform there are not much (utf8-capable) editors with enhaced functions for ConText/LaTeX:<br>- Notepad++ (utf ok, no really working functions for context)<br>- TeXmaker (utf ok, LaTeX only)<br>- LEd (still no utf, latex only)<br>- Scite (my ancient favorite on XP, before TeXworks; not accessible to novices, utf ok, context very ok)<br>- WinEdt (very very nice for LaTeX, but utf still in question(?), context?)<br><br>On Mac things are different:<br><br>The already perfect editor for ConTeXt (and LaTeX) is TextMate (with the LaTeX bundle and the very nice ConTeXt bundle by P. Gundlach(?))<br><br>For novice users, who have problems to set up TextMate or are not willing to pay for it, we have TeXshop, which - if I remember correctly - is already set up for use (preconfigs for ConTeXt/XeTeX/LaTeX).<br>This is also bundled with the texlive package.<br><br>So my question now:<br><br>What is the purpose of the Mac edition of TeXworks?<br>Should it remplace the TeXshop (i.e. an app for novice usres)?<br>Or should is it meant to take over the functionality of TextMate?<br>('takeover' means integrate the ConTeXt (and LaTeX) Bundle of TextMate into a the new editor, making him the base for future development, as a reference ConTeXt/LaTeX editor).<br><br>Thomas<br></div></blockquote></div><br></div></body></html>
