'''WinShell''' is a freeware, closed-source [[multilingual software|multilingual]] [[integrated development environment]] (IDE) for [[LaTeX]] and [[TeX]] for Windows.<ref>[https://www.winshell.org/#inpress References to different Articles, Books, Videos in different languages]</ref>

WinShell includes a [[text editor]], [[syntax highlighting]], project management, spell checking, a table wizard, [[BibTeX]] front-end, [[Unicode]] support, different [[toolbar]]s, user configuration options and it is portable (e.g. on a USB drive).
It is not a [[LaTeX]] system; an additional LaTeX compiler system for [[Microsoft Windows]] (such as [[MiKTeX]] or [[TeX Live]]) is required.<ref>[https://ctan.org/pkg/winshell CTAN TeX Catalogue] (2021/11/06)</ref>

==Languages==
Supported languages are [[Brazilian Portuguese]], [[Catalan language|Catalan]], [[Chinese language|Chinese]], [[Czech language|Czech]], [[Danish language|Danish]], [[Dutch language|Dutch]], [[English language|English]], [[French language|French]], Galician, [[German language|German]], [[Hungarian language|Hungarian]], [[Italian language|Italian]], [[Japanese language|Japanese]], [[Mexico]] [[Spanish language|Spanish]], [[Polish language|Polish]], [[Portuguese language|Portuguese]], [[Russian language|Russian]], [[Serbian language|Serbian]], [[Spain]] Spanish, [[Swedish language|Swedish]] and [[Turkish language|Turkish]].

==Interoperability==

WinShell works with the [[MiKTeX]], the [[TeX Live]] and the [[W32TeX]] distribution. At first start, WinShell recognizes the distribution and sets the command-line arguments automatically. Similarly with the viewer for the generated PDF documents. For [[Acrobat Reader]], WinShell closes the PDF document before compiling. For [[SumatraPDF]], WinShell automatically sets the correct commands to achieve forward and inverse search between WinShell and SumatraPDF.
