Latexmk looks to be a very promising piece of kit, offering the possibility of live and regularly refreshed view of the latex output as you type the source.
Unfortunately, for such a potentially promising tool, the manual is incomprehensible for a LaTeX novice like myself and provides very little information for the windows user. This is sad because it appears to be able to do what I and a lot of others are begging for (get a live, self updating view of the latex output as I type the source).
I'm running texmaker under windows and as far as I can understand, my best chance of seeing an updatable pdf is with either texmaker's internal viewer (the command for which is unknown to me) or with gsview (which I have installed but need to be able to specify in a way which latexmk can understand).
So far I know that latexmk is working as it can be used to compile a tex file. But I really need to know how to specify the external viewer to poll the output.
Has anyone managed to get this tool up and running in Texmaker, under windows, to obtain live views of the output and what form of command did you use to get it?
Or are there any (more understandable) alternatives to latexmk capable of doing the same thing?
