TeX - LaTeX Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for users of TeX, LaTeX, ConTeXt, and related typesetting systems. It's 100% free, no registration required.

For some reason it seems that my favourite editor TeXnicCenter doesn't support unicode (correct me please if I'm wrong, which wouldn't be the first time).

Can anyone recommend an editor which does, for Windows platform? Simplicity is appreciated.

According to the TeXnicCenter site, there'a an alpha version that supports unicode: TeXnicCenter 2.0 Alpha 1.

If you are willing to change your editor, perhaps the answers to this question can be useful for you: LaTeX Editors/IDEs.

I personally use TeXworks (I use it under Linux, but it is multiplataform, so you can also use it on Windows machines).

If you prefer simplicity, TeXworks has my recommendations (it also comes bundled with MiKTeX).

Another excellent editor which supports unicode is Texmaker - it might be considered even simpler to use because it offers wizards for common tasks.

Folks, there is only one editor, which is as mighty as LaTeX is: Emacs, with the AUCTeX-Package.

Don't garble your workflow by using one of this half-baked, GUI-dominated and buggy newcomers. Emacs has been around for more than 20 years.

I will retag this question.


Edit: Recently I found out that Emacs even can use the back of Word documents! Think of all the people who only work on the side of the document which is shown on the screen! What a waste of resources.
