TeXworks Script API

Some thoughts and reference on how to extend the TeXworks editor functionality using its built in scripting. Help-file preparation original file, downloadible .chm .pdf .doc and an online .html version available. — Some TeXworks Scripting API Notes - A Work (very much) in Progress Last Update: 2012 05 14^th Monday (NZST).

Some Already Prepared Scripts – More Editing Functions in TeXworks

In the following you will find links to some TeXworks Scripts giving you some extra functions in the TeXworks editor, and some available Alt F1  with Alt 1 or 2 activated LaTeX help information from inside the TeXworks editor, which I use myself.

Some TeXworks Script Down loads — All care no responsibility, you must check all scripts for yourself, and follow instalation instructions.

Some may be presently optimised for only one Operating System, e.g. MacOsx or Windows or Linux. Others will work across the board. Best consider everything as still under development.
