Look in the Sage documentation about SageTeX, as well as the SageTeX documentation at https://bitbucket.org/ddrake/sagetex/downloads/sagetex.pdf - or perhaps that's what you're referring to?
I'm not sure there would be an easy way to use this in the Windows virtual machine setup that would be as clickable as possible, but at any rate it certainly is a great way to use the two together. There are lots of LaTeX editors for Windows, at any rate, and the Sage part is a little spice on top of that. No server or anything needed (or useful). The output should be a pdf, ordinarily. Dan, do you have any tips for using SageTeX on Windows? - kcrisman On Friday, April 12, 2013 11:52:24 PM UTC-4, LRN wrote: > > I have a MathCAD user i know, and i want to convert him to Sage. > Sage's ability to do math is beyond any doubt, but that person uses > Windows, and proved to be difficult to teach anything complex.
