  <tmdoc-title|Standard <TeXmacs> styles>

  The main <TeXmacs> styles are:

  <\explain|<tmstyle|generic>>
    This is the default style when you open a new document. The purpose of
    this style is to produce quick, informal documents. For this reason, the
    layout of paragraphs is very simple: instead of indenting the first lines
    of paragraphs, they are rather separated by white-space.
  </explain>

  <\explain|<tmstyle|article>>
    This style may be used for writing short scientific articles, which are
    subdivided into sections. The numbering of environments like theorems,
    remarks, <abbr|etc.> is relative to the entire document. If you use the
    <tmpackage|number-long-article> package, then the numbers are prefixed by
    the section number.
  </explain>

  <\explain|<tmstyle|beamer>>
    This style may be used for the creation of highly interactive laptop
    presentations. By default, we use a ``bluish'' theme similar to the
    <LaTeX> beamer package, but other themes can be selected from the menus.
  </explain>

  <\explain|<tmstyle|book>>
    This is the basic style for writing books. Books are assumed to be
    subdivided into chapters and numbers of environments are prefixed by the
    chapter number. In general, it is also comfortable to store each chapter
    in a separate file, so that they can be edited more efficiently. This
    issue is explained in more detail in the section about <hlink|books and
    multifile documents|../links/man-multifile.en.tm>.
  </explain>

  <\explain|<tmstyle|seminar>>
    Documents based on this style are typically printed on slides for
    presentations using an overhead projector. You may also want to use it
    when making presentation directly from your laptop, after selecting
    <menu|View|Presentation mode>. Notice however, that slides correspond to
    real pages, whereas you rather should use ``switches'' in presentation
    mode.
  </explain>

  <\explain|<tmstyle|source>>
    This is the privileged style for editing style files and packages. It
    enables ``source mode'', so that documents are rendered in a way which
    makes the structure fully apparent. For more details, we refer to the
    section on the <hlink|rendering of style
    files|../../devel/style/presentation/src-present.en.tm>.
  </explain>

  The <tmstyle|article> style admits several variants, so as to make the
  layout correspond to the policy of specific journals. Currently, we have
  implemented <TeXmacs> analogues of the common <LaTeX> styles
  <tmstyle|amsart>, <tmstyle|acmconf>, <tmstyle|elsart>, <tmstyle|ieeeconf>,
  <tmstyle|aip>, <tmstyle|aps>, <tmstyle|svjour>, etc. Similarly, we are
  developing styles <tmstyle|tmarticle> and <tmstyle|tmbook> which provide an
  alternative layout for articles and books.

  In addition to variants of the <tmstyle|article> and <tmstyle|book> styles,
  <TeXmacs> provides also a few other styles, which are based on the main
  styles, but which provide some additional markup.

  <\explain|<tmstyle|letter>>
    This style is based on the informal <tmstyle|generic> style, but it
    provides additional markup for writing letters. The additional macros are
    mainly used for headers and endings of letters.
  </explain>

  <\explain|<tmstyle|exam>>
    This style, which is again based on <tmstyle|generic>, provides some
    additional markup for headers of exams. It also customizes the rendering
    of exercises.
  </explain>

  <\explain|<tmstyle|tmdoc>>
    This style is used for writing the <TeXmacs> documentation. It contains
    several tags for special types of content and extensions for linking,
    indexing, document traversal, <abbr|etc.>. Some aspects of this style are
    still under heavy development.
