\details{
MiKTeX is a typesetting system for Microsoft Windows that
is developed by Christian Schenk. It consists of an
implementation of TeX and a set of related programs. MiKTeX
provides the tools necessary to prepare documents using the
TeX/LaTeX markup language, as well a simple tex editor
(TeXworks).

MiKTeX is essential for using Sweave, knitr, and creating
Vignette for R packages.
