Configuring TeXworks

• Configuration directory is here, copy there custom tools.ini file. Here is my tools.ini. It requires these batch files.
• Create a folder for auxiliary files, e.g. C:\tmp\_aux.
• Enable "Format/Syntax Coloring/LaTeX".
• Preferences:
  • General: Small icons
  • Editor: Roboto Mono or Courier New, 9 or 10pt, UTF-8 encoding
  • Preview: Fit to Width
• Preferences/Typesetting:
  • set pdfLaTeX as default
  • pdfLaTeX: add -aux-directory=C:\tmp\_aux
  • Biber: add -input-directory=C:\tmp\_aux, -output-directory=C:\tmp\_aux
• Spelling dictionaries are here. You may want to replace preinstalled dictionaries with your own ones. Note that dictionaries can be edited in a plain text editor, just make sure that all words are lexically ordered. Use Pub/TeX/main.mw to add custom dictionary to existing one.
