[Tex/LaTex] TeXworks source window

texworks

Is there a way to increase the font size in the source window of TeXworks? I guess I'm showing my age, but for me it is almost unusable. It's kind of annoying having to put my face so close to the screen to get any work done.

Edit --> Preferences, look under the Editor tab. Here you can change font and font size. Restart TeXworks to see the effects.

[Tex/LaTex] Problems compiling arXiv LaTeX source files

Try adding the .tex extension back on to the file. I'm not sure why arXiv would remove it, but many editors will assume that it's there when running compile sequences.

To see what I mean, compare the compilation for pdfLaTeX and BibTeX:

$ pdflatex myfile.tex
$ bibtex myfile

Note that bibtex doesn't need the file extension since it also looks at the files generated by the LaTeX run. Editors like TeXworks (and others, no doubt) will run these sequences for you automatically, but this requires that it knows where the extension is so that it can remove it. When there is no extension to remove, ambiguities will arise:

$ pdflatex myfile
$ bibtex myfile

It's likely that one of these programs picked up on the 'wrong' myfile, causing the error that you saw. (For example, take a look inside the aux file; running pdflatex directly on this file would certainly throw an error.)

[Tex/LaTex] Texworks pdf viewer suddenly unable to link to \input -ed source following compilation error

For anyone else landing on this question with he same problem, the issue was that my compilation script used pdflatex->biber->pdflatex->pdflatex.

This used to be the expected thing to do in order to get appropriate crossreferences. It appears that suddenly (following an update?) the correct procedure is to only use pdflatex->biber->pdflatex. Crossreferences seem to be ok after the second pdflatex call. A third pdflatex call breaks synctex.

If this happens, clear out all .aux files and compile again with pdflatex->biber->pdflatex.
