########## LaTeX and TextPad ########## 

      
	
         TextPad is a widely used text editor at campus, and we want to be able to edit LaTeX source in TextPad. For TextPad 
         to recognize the LaTeX-syntax it needs to know where it can find the syntax-file. It also needs a 
         TeX-compiler to be able to display the dvi-file. In this guide we will use MiKTeX as a basis because 
         it is easy to use. You can download it here. 
      



      -=<Colored syntax>=-
         
	
            By activating colored syntax, TextPad will display the code in different colors which makes it easier 
            for the user to separate text from coding.
         



      		 - Open TextPad
	 - Close all open documents
	 - Choose /Configure -> Preferences.../
	 - Choose /Document Classes/ on the left-hand side


         {{BILDE}}

      		 - Write "LaTeX" in the bottom-right corner
	 - Choose /Apply/
	 - Expand /Document Classes/ by clicking on the +-sign on the left-hand side
	 - Highlight /LaTeX/ 
	 - Write "*.tex" in the middle column


         {{BILDE}}

	      	 - Expand /LaTeX/ by clicking on the +-sign on the left-hand side
	 - 
               Choose /Syntax/, check /Enable syntax
		         highlighting/ and open "LaTeX.syn" from the list and press /Apply/
            


         {{BILDE}}

	   -=<Adding tools>=-
	      	 - Open the window /Preferences.../ like you did earlier
	 - Highlight /Tools/ in the bottom-left corner
	 - Choose /Add/ and /DOS Command/ to the far right
	 - Write "LaTeX" and press /Apply/ (like the picture below)
	 - 
               Repeat with the command "DVIView",
		         "pdflatex", "dvips" and
		         "BiBTeX"
            


         {{BILDE}}

         
	
         	The commands will not work as they are now, so we need to tweak them.
         



         	 - Expand /Tools/ by clicking on the +-sign on the left-hand side and press /LaTeX/
	 - 
               Enter the command "latex $File" in the
         		/Parameters/-field and press /Apply/
            


         {{BILDE}}

      		 - Repeat the procedure for dvips with the parameter "dvips
		      $BaseName.dvi"
	 - Repeat the procedure for DVIView with the parameter "yap
		      $BaseName.dvi"
	 - Repeat the procedure for pdflatex with the parameter "pdflatex
		      $File"
	 - Repeat the procedure for BiBTeX with the parameter "bibtex
		      $BaseName"
	 - Choose /OK/ and you are done!

      -=<Java-tools>=-
         
	
            If JDK/SDK was installed prior to the installation of TextPad, the tools should 
            already be there. If not, you have to add them yourself. This is how: 
         



         	 - Highlight /Tools/ in the bottom-left side
	 - Choose /Add/ og /Java SDK Commands/ on the far right
	 - Press /Apply/
