[BlindMath] Latex and Notepad++

[Jonathan Godfrey]

Hello Niels,

I expect the miktex distribution has been added to your system path.

That means you could open a command prompt and type "latex --help"
If it gives you a bunch of information and comes back to the prompt, then Notepad++ will find it just fine.

If it isn't working, Windows will return a "latex is not a recognised..." error.

HTH,
Jonathan

Hello Jason,

thanks a lot for your mail.

Before I take care of the NVDA add-on for Notepad++, I would like to set up Notepad++ so that a sighted person could create Latex documents with it. Where exactly in Notepad++ do I need to specify the file path of my latex distribution, pdflatex and other components. As I said, the distribution is fully installed on the PC and Notepad++ is also installed. But of course I still have to tell Notepad where to find the individual latex program components, so that at the push of a button the compiler can work.


Kind regards

Niels
