Introduction
Aurora editor
Aurora’s main window consists of a syntax-highting LaTeX editor and a toolbar with the following functions:
| Refresh | re-runs LaTeX on the current equation and updates the equation in the host program. |
| Properties | lets you edit the equation rendering options, specify appropriate LaTeX packages, and edit the global Aurora settings, such as the commands Aurora uses to invoke the LaTeX interpreters. |
| Help | brings up a list of commonly used LaTeX commands with examples. |
| Editor font | lets you change the font used in the editor window. |
Almost every function of Aurora has a keyboard shortcut for it.
The editor itself is not tied to any particular word-processing application and can be used to enter equations into any program that supports Object Linking and Embedding. Working with Microsoft Office applications is further enhanced by the add-ins that ship with Aurora:
