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. |
