GNU TeXmacs is a free scientific text editor, which was both inspired
|
|
|
|
|
by TeX and GNU Emacs. The editor allows you to write structured
|
|
|
|
|
documents via a wysiwyg (what-you-see-is-what-you-get) and user
|
|
|
|
|
friendly interface. New styles may be created by the user. The program
|
|
|
|
|
implements high-quality typesetting algorithms and TeX fonts, which
|
|
|
|
|
help you to produce professionally looking documents.

The high typesetting quality still goes through for automatically
|
|
|
|
|
generated formulas, which makes TeXmacs suitable as an interface for
|
|
|
|
|
computer algebra systems. TeXmacs also supports the Guile/Scheme
|
|
|
|
|
extension language, so that you may customize the interface and write
|
|
|
|
|
your own extensions to the editor.

TeXmacs currently runs on PC's and PPC's under Gnu/linux (a >200MHz
|
|
|
|
|
processor and >32Mb of memory are recommended) and on sun computers.
|
|
|
|
|
Converters exist for TeX/LaTeX and they are under development for
|
|
|
|
|
Html/Mathml/Xml. In the future, TeXmacs is planned to evoluate towards
|
|
|
|
|
a complete scientific office suite, with spreadsheet capacities, a
|
|
|
|
|
technical drawing editor and a presentation mode.
