Hello everybody:
I'm currently writting my PhD on WinEdt and I would like to dinamycally edit my documents. That is to say, I would like to see a DVI or PDF preview of what I am writting not needing to compile everytime I want to see how it looks like or wether it is correctly written or not.
I have seen this nice option from a TexMaker user and he told it was very likely to be possible with WinEdt too.
Can someone help? How do I dinamycally edit with WinEdt?
Thank you very much in advance

How to dinamycally edit with WinEDT
Hi and welcome,
This question comes up once iin an while, and i think i answered it once. For now, I'll just refer you to an answer on TeX.SX. Can Texmaker, as I'm typing, automatically create a preview of the document's PDF output?

Johannes, the question is about WinEdt.
Well, there are not many editors with that feature. I know it from Overleaf aka writeLaTeX and I don't like it. It eats CPU and memory and brings errors during writing because of temporary incompleteness.

Yeah, i know, but TeXmaker was metioned as well. And the arguments in the linked Q/A mention all the disadvantages that make On The Fly-Compiling really annoying.
I hate it.
