WinEdt v6.0 Build 20101111 portable is a powerful and versatile text editor for Windows with a strong predisposition towards the creation of [La]TeX documents...
Although WinEdt is reasonably suitable as an all-purpose text editor it has been specifically designed and configured to integrate seamlessly with a TeX System (such as MiKTeX or TeX Live). WinEdt documentation does not cover TeX related topics in depth. You'll find introductions and manuals on typesetting with [La]TeX, as well as links to other recommended accessories, on TeX's Community Site (TUG).
Major new features in WinEdt 6.0: - WinEdt's Interface (toolbar) has changed. A single button is now used to select and start the TeX Compiler of your choice. The drop-down menu allows you to choose from PDFLaTeX, LaTeX, XeTeX, TeX, AMSTeX, etc... Once you make your choice you can start the selected compiler by clicking on the button... - The new interface also features context-sensitive Compile and Preview buttons. Their meaning for TeX documents can be configured through the Execution Modes Interface... - Configuration Filters are used to make Menu Items and Toolbars visible or invisible depending on the configuration choice (MiKTeX, Tex Live, HTML, etc...) - Console Applications are by default executed in WinEdt's own Console Window. This can be customized in the Execution Modes interface. - Highlighting now allows specification of environment-sensitive background colors. - Support for compiling MetaPost documents and Documented LaTeX (DTX)... - And there is more...
