WinEdt at the RUG
The WinEdt LaTeX editor is licensed to some users at the university. Check whether WinEdt shows up under Start > All Programs > Text Processing.
WinEdt is a virtualized application, which makes it harder to integrate into TeX Live. Therefore the following instructions:
Manually configuring WinEdt for TeX Live 2016
First, in WinEdt, click Options > Configurations > TeX Live.
Then, click Options > Execution Modes > TeX System tab. All
Auto-detect boxes should be checked except the top-most for TeX
Root. Enter in the TeX Root field the following string, e.g. using
copy-and-paste:
\\workspace.rug.nl\aps\serverbased\texlive\2016
Click the Apply button at the bottom. Now all other text fields
should point to files and subdirectories under the new TeX
Root. Finally, click the OK button.
Making WinEdt the default LaTeX editor
Although WinEdt has an interface for setting up file
associations, this interface will not work within RES Workspace
Manager. Use instead the item Make WinEdt the default LaTeX
editor
in the Start > All Programs > Text Processing
menu.
Viewing pdfs
If the default pdf viewer does not work right, consider using
SumatraPDF. In WinEdt, click Options > Execution Modes > PDF Viewer
tab. Make sure that Auto-detect is unchecked. In the second text
entry field, enter the string (again using copy-and-paste)\\workspace.rug.nl\aps\serverbased\texlive\2016\rugextras\sumatrapdf\sumatrapdf.exe
Or point it to a portable installation on e.g. a usb stick, the
D:-drive or the X:-drive. Next, click the Apply button.
