WinTeXmacs was developed by winPenPack which aims to provide scientists with a platform which can be used for editing. It was built in order to offer its users accessibility to a tool which will allow them to edit graphics, text, interactive contents and even mathematical formulas. It also allows its users the capability to create different styles that can be used for presentation. It has the advantage of giving its users an easy installation process and only needs minimum space to work. Currently, Windows is not being supported at the moment because there is scarcity of volunteers who are using Windows platform to test the program. Its Windows version do not require the installation of TeX/LaTeX on the system to be used however, there might be a need for that in case the user would want to have more available fonts to be used.
