Live preview in Winedt

[Dilip Kumar Das]

I am using Winedt 10.3. After any change I have a run the tex file to see the preview. Is there anyway so that I can see the live preview?

LaTeX is not wysiwyg [1] editor. Try word for that.

Not by default. Historically, TeX uses an asynchronous model because changing one part of the document could cause changes elsewhere. On a modern system, unless the document is unusually long or complex, clicking the Rebuild or Typeset button refreshes the typeset window very fast.

Synchronous typesetting requires a different approach, and there are commercial systems like Scientific Word which use TeX in this way. LyX is an open-source near-synchronous system which you might like to look at.

There is also InstantPreview and the TeX daemon, and a number of close-to-synchronous systems implemented as add-one to 'normal' TeX.

By 'live preview' I assume you mean 'in the same window while you type'. This is synchronous editing, like a wordprocessor.
