How to Configure TeXmaker with MiKTeX

As a user of TeXmaker and MiKTeX, I have found that configuring these two programs can be more complex than simple copy and paste. In this article, we will explore the advantages and disadvantages of using TeXmaker with MiKTeX, as well as some tips for getting the most out of your LaTeX experience.

One of the main advantages of using TeXmaker is its ability to show matching parentheses, making it easier to keep track of your code. Additionally, TeXmaker allows you to insert an environment quickly and easily, which can be a huge time-saver when working on complex documents.

However, some users may find that TeXmaker is more sophisticated than they need, especially if they are not used to using editor commands. Fortunately, MiKTeX provides a range of alternatives for those who prefer a more straightforward approach. For example, you can use Inkscape to draw figures and diagrams, or TikZ to create complex graphics.

For those who prefer video resources, Michelle Krummel on YouTube offers a range of tutorials and tips for getting the most out of TeXmaker and MiKTeX. Alternatively, if you are new to LaTeX, you may want to start with the wiki-book on LaTeX, which provides a quick and practical overview of the program.

For those who need more advanced tools, EditTex is an easy-to-use tool that allows you to create LaTeX formulas and edit them inline. Overleaf is another popular online editor that offers great tutorials and templates for getting started with LaTeX.
