  <tmdoc-title|Welcome to Mogan Editor>

  <with|color|dark red|<with|font|TeX Gyre
  Pagella|font-base-size|8|<\render-remark|Reminder>
    As with GNU <TeXmacs>, Western typography has been relatively well
    developed in <name|Mogan Editor>, but Chinese typography is still a long
    way off.

    If you encounter problems in using the editor, please feel free to
    contact us through the ways listed in the section "Contact Us" below,
    thank you; in this case, we would be grateful if you would write a work
    order and describe the problem in <hlink|<name|GitHub<with|font-shape|italic|>>|https://github.com/XmacsLabs/mogan/issues>
    or <hlink|<name|Gitee><with|font-shape|italic|>|https://gitee.com/XmacsLabs/mogan/issues>,
    or upload a document that can reproduce the problem.

    Before you start using it, new users should be aware of the following two
    issues.

    <\itemize-dot>
      <item>If you are viewing this file and the Chinese is garbled, please
      use <hlink|<name|Mogan Editor> v1.1.1|https://github.com/XmacsLabs/mogan/releases/tag/v1.1.1>
      or newer for the Chinese characters to display correctly.

      <item>Due to loading fonts and other contents, the program may run
      slowly or lag after the first few starts, usually it will be normal
      afterwards.

  <name|Mogan Editor> is a structure editor delivered by <name|<hlink|Xmacs
  Labs|https://github.com/XmacsLabs>>. We are dedicated to make Mogan Editor
  the most user-friendly distribution of GNU <TeXmacs>. <name|Mogan Editor>
  has the following main differences from GUN <TeXmacs>:

  <\description>
    <item*|Reasonable configuration tuning> For example, the default shortcut
    style in <name|Mogan Editor> is Emacs style, so that the shortcut keys
    are consistent across platforms. <with|color|dark red|If you want to
    switch back to the <key|Ctrl-c> or <key|Cmd-c> shortcut style which
    varies with the system, you can change it back in
    <menu|Edit|Preferences|General|Look and feel>.>

    <item*|Radical technical options>For example, <name|Mogan Editor>
    switched the GUI framework from <name|Qt> 4.8.x to <name|Qt> 5.15.x, and
    switched the script execution engine from <name|Guile> 1.8.x to <name|S7
    Scheme>, which can be quite unstable while enjoying the advantages of new
    technology.

  <section*|What are GNU <TeXmacs> and <name|Mogan Editor>>

  GNU <TeXmacs> is a structured editor developed since the late 1990s by
  <hlink|<person|Joris van der Hoeven>|http://www.texmacs.org/joris/main/joris.html>,
  a mathematician at <abbr|CNRS> in France. It is designed to write
  high-quality technical documents using an intuitive and easy-to-use
  graphical interface, and able to achieve the same level of results as
  <LaTeX>. Its main users are currently primary and secondary school teachers
  and university researchers.

  <hlink|<person|Darcy Shen>|https://github.com/darcy-shen> released
  <name|Mogan Editor v1.0.0> on January 30th, 2022, base on
  <hlink|<person|Massimiliano Gubinelli>|http://texmacs.org/tmweb/contribute/team-massimiliano.en.html>'s
  <hlink|<name|S7 Scheme> port|https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/texmacs-dev/2021-01/msg00009.html>
  and created <name|Xmacs Labs>, a non-profit organization that aims to
  popularize GNU <TeXmacs> and make it available to more people to enjoy the
  excellent software developed by Joris <person|van der Hoeven>.

  <\itemize-minus>
    <item>GNU <TeXmacs> is a <strong|free scientific editing platform>
    designed to create beautiful technical documents using a <strong|wysiwyg
    interface>.

    <item>It provides a <strong|unified and user friendly framework> for
    editing structured documents with different types of content: text,
    mathematics, graphics, interactive content, slides, etc.

    <item><TeXmacs> can be used as a <strong|graphical front-end> for many
    systems in computer algebra, numerical analysis, statistics, etc.

    <item>Documents can be saved in <TeXmacs>, <name|Xml> or <name|Scheme>
    format and printed as <name|Pdf> or <name|Postscript> files. Converters
    exist for <TeX>/<LaTeX> and <name|Html>/<name|Mathml>. Notice that
    <TeXmacs> is <em|not> based on <TeX>/<LaTeX>.

    <item>Its rendering engine uses <strong|high-quality typesetting
    algorithms> so as to produce professionally looking documents, which can
    either be printed out or presented from a laptop.

    <item>New styles can be written by the user and new features can be added
    to the editor using the Scheme extension language.

    <item>Runs on all major <name|Unix> platforms, <name|macOS>, and
    <name|Windows>.
  </itemize-minus>

  <name|Mogan Editor> inherits all the above features from GNU <TeXmacs> (see
  <hlink|the homepage of GNU <TeXmacs>|https://www.texmacs.org>). As a

  report slides, and <LaTeX>-quality papers.\ 

  Based on GNU <TeXmacs>, <name|Mogan Editor> has more bugs fixed,
  performance-optimized, and the interface beautified.
