{winedt} is a shareware (non-free) all-purpose text editor for Windows, specifically designed and configured to integrate seamlessly with a TeX System (such as MiKTeX or TeX Live).

WinEdt (shareware/non-free) is a powerful and versatile text editor for Windows with a strong predisposition towards the creation of (La)TeX documents.

WinEdt is used as a front-end for compilers and typesetting systems, such as TeX, HTML or NSIS. WinEdt's highlighting schemes can be customized for different modes and its spell checking functionality supports multi-lingual setups, with dictionaries (word-lists) for many languages available for downloading from WinEdt's Community Site www.winedt.org.

It has been extensively tested under Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7 and Windows 8 (32-bit and 64-bit).
