Make a portable LaTeX editor
LATEX (or more generally TEX) is a wonderful tool when it comes to writing reports. I already wrote about how to use Eclipse with a few plugins to have a portable LATEX editor.Wed Apr 10 10:30:55 2013 - permalink -
There was a limitation however: though I hinted that some compilers exist in a portable version, I used TeXlipse with an installed MiKTeX. Now, a friend of mine required an editor to fine-tune something I prepared, and I did not wish to force a full installation.
So, here is how I prepared a portable TEX editor on a USB stick in half an hour (most of which was spent downloading), which shall work on any Windows machine.- http://blog.keyboardplaying.org/2012/08/03/how-to-make-portable-latex-editor/
