![]() The setup program analyzes your TeX/LaTeX distribution and the plugins which are installed on your system. Rerun the setup program before starting TeXmacs. Silent execution: less messages to standard output. You cannot change it while running TeXmacs. This option is only available as a global start-up option. This mode inverts and weakens the intensity of all colors. Shortcut for the option -x "(quit-TeXmacs)". High quality displaying of anti-aliased fonts (default). Oc, -no-char-clippingįaster but less perfect displaying of anti-aliased fonts. Uses as a guile/scheme initialization file for TeXmacs. h, -helpĭisplay a help message, which lists the command line options of TeXmacs. It may also take the form xoff yoff], like in `texmacs -g 800圆00-100+100'. Here may be a size in pixels, like in `texmacs -g 600x480'. The is of the form, or For instance, would give a sans serif font at 400 dpi. Sets the default TeX fonts for menus and so to. This option is similar to -delete-cache, but only deletes the cache for accelerated style file loading. This option is similar to -delete-cache, but only deletes the cache for accelerated font loading. This option is similar to -delete-cache, but only deletes the cache for accelerated file loading. This option is similar to -delete-cache, but only deletes the cache for accelerated help file loading. This is rarely the case for normal users, but sometimes necessary for TeXmacs developers. However, these optimizations may be incorrect when the user manually changes files in the TeXmacs distribution or when new fonts are added. TeXmacs uses several caches for speeding up font, file, directory and style file loading. This option deletes all files in the TeXmacs cache. debug-eventsĭisplay all communicated data between TeXmacs and extern systems. d, -debugĭisplay most important debugging information. The argument list may contain several conversion instructions and you will usually want to use this option in combination with -quit. The file formats are determined automatically from the suffixes and as a function of the contents of. c, -convert Ĭonvert input file into output file. Uses as a guile/scheme initialization file for TeXmacs buffers. ![]() 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. Converters exist for TeX/LaTeX and they are under development for Html/Mathml/Xml. 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. TeXmacs also supports the Guile/Scheme extension language, so that you may customize the interface and write your own extensions to the editor. The high typesetting quality still goes through for automatically generated formulas, which makes TeXmacs suitable as an interface for computer algebra systems. The program implements high-quality typesetting algorithms and TeX fonts, which help you to produce professionally looking documents. ![]() The editor allows you to write structured documents via a wysiwyg (what-you-see-is-what-you-get) and user friendly interface. GNU TeXmacs is a free scientific text editor, which was both inspired by TeX and GNU Emacs. I’m pretty sure something more intuitive could be built, something like the developer tools of chrome would already help.A WYSIWYG mathematical text editor Synopsis What I think still remains to be solved is the topping to create new templates, right now it is a bit like working with raw css/html. If latex notation is so good why then nobody uses it to write math on a blackboard? :) Texmacs (and lyx ) really bring something new to the table. There is no arguing about the fact that latex is better than word for any serious writing and that the output is normally beautiful (if one chooses the right style, probably CV are the common exception) but the input method (let alone the conglomerate of tools/libraries around it) can be greatly improved. I had to split it in multiple files because at the type it would be very slow on very long and complex document but apart from that the result looked very nice.Īs an aside, and this is just personal opinion, I always felt the love of latex in the scientific community is some sort of Stockholm syndrome. My handwriting is pretty bad so I actually preferred that to using a physical notebook.įinally I did the typesetting of my whole PhD thesis with it. I was also using the software to do my own derivations. The wysiwym display is also critical to check for transcription mistakes in real time. It is possible to type extremely fast with it and thanks to copy/paste/modify you can actually go faster than the lecturer. Just as a data point, I used to take notes in class with this software (essentially blackboard after blackboard of math expressions).
