<tmdoc-title|A short description of GNU <TeXmacs>>
GNU <TeXmacs> is a free wysiwyw (what you see is what you want) editing
platform with special features for scientists. The software aims to provide
a unified and user friendly framework for editing structured documents with
different types of content (text, graphics, mathematics, interactive
content, <abbr|etc.>). The rendering engine uses high-quality typesetting
algorithms so as to produce professionally looking documents, which can
either be printed out or presented from a laptop.
The software includes a text editor with support for mathematical formulas,
a small technical picture editor and a tool for making presentations from a
laptop. Moreover, <TeXmacs> can be used as an interface for many external
systems for computer algebra, numerical analysis, statistics,<nbsp>etc. New
presentation styles can be written by the user and new features can be
added to the editor using the <name|Scheme> extension language. A native
spreadsheet and tools for collaborative authoring are planned for later.

<TeXmacs> runs on GNU/<name|Linux>, <name|MacOS>, and <name|Windows>.
2011-08-28 15:59:50 +08:00
Documents can be saved in <TeXmacs>, <name|Xml> or <name|Scheme> format and
2019-06-01 15:50:40 +08:00
printed as <name|Postscript> or <name|Pdf> files. Although <TeXmacs> is
<em|not> based on <TeX>/<LaTeX>, high quality converters exist for <LaTeX>.
Documents can also be exported to <name|Html>/<name|Mathml> for publication
on the web.
