- | [[http://www.tug.org/texworks/|TeXWorks]] is a user friendly and easy-to-install editor. The two steps described here are necessary to configure the editor and make it work in connection with our template. First, the setting **UTF-8** will be used as coding for the TeX files, and then **Biber** will be added to the menu. | + | ===== TeX Engine ===== |
- | ===== 1. UTF-8 Coding ===== | + | The only setting you might want to change is the default Typesetting engine. Go to **Edit** and **Preferences** and select the **Typesetting** tab. Below the list of Processing tools, choose **XeLaTeX** from the **Default** dropdown menu. |

- | Once TeXWorks has been started, select **Edit • Preferences** to call up the settings. From this window, you should first select from **Editor** the entry **Encoding**, then **UTF-8**. This step is essential to avoid corrupt and inoperable files! | ||

+ | To compile a publication, open the main TeX file and in the menu select **Xelatex**. Click on the green button to start the TeX program. To compile the bibliography using biber, select the entry **biber** and then click again on the green button. To complete the compilation of the text, select **XeLaTeX** once again and create the final file by clicking on the green button. | ||
- | Under **Typesetting** in the same window, you will find the option **Processing Tools** in the middle of the list. By clicking on the plus sign on the right (**1**) you can initiate a new request. | + | {{ :support:texworks_result_en.png?600 |}} |
