BaKoMa TeX: A Beginner’s Guide to Powerful WYSIWYG LaTeX Editing

What is BaKoMa TeX?

BaKoMa TeX is a Windows-focused TeX/LaTeX distribution that includes a true WYSIWYG editor (TeXWord) alongside a traditional text-editor + DVI viewer workflow. It lets you edit documents visually while still producing authentic LaTeX source and high-quality outputs (PDF, SVG, PS, PNG).

Why choose BaKoMa TeX?

• True WYSIWYG editing: Edit and see formatted output immediately, useful if you prefer visual editing over plain source editing.
• Full TeX engine: Implements LaTeX, e-TeX, Omega and supports common macro packages—so documents remain LaTeX-compatible.
• Strong graphics & font support: Imports EPS/PDF/PNG/JPEG and supports PostScript-based tools (PSTricks, Beamer, PowerDot) and modern font formats (OpenType, TrueType, Type1).
• Multiple interfaces: Use TeXWord for visual editing or the classic Text Editor + DVI Viewer for a conventional edit/compile loop with features like reverse search and dynamic preview.
• Export options: Export directly to PDF, SVG, HTML, PNG, and PS.
