<tmdoc-title|Mathematical formulas>
One of the main purposes of <TeXmacs> is to edit mathematical formulas. If
the cursor is inside a<nbsp>formula (<abbr|i.e.> inside ``math mode''),
then the mode sensitive menus and toolbars provide buttons for entering
common mathematical constructs. Similarly, as will be detailed in this
section, the bahaviour of the keyboard changes so as to allow for the rapid
typing of mathematical symbols. For instance, typing <key|- \<gtr\>>
inserts the arrow <math|\<rightarrow\>>.
Starting with version 1.0.7.10, <TeXmacs> also incorporates several
features for the ``semantic'' editing of mathematical formulas, which will
be described at the end of this section. When used appropriately, this
allows you to write documents in which all formulas are at least correct
from a syntactical point of view. A ``syntax corrector'' is included to
assist you with this task. Documents with more semantics are for instance
useful when using formulas as inputs for a computer algebra system. Such
documents are also less likely to contain ``typos''. Other interesting
features, such as semantic search and replace, should be developed in the
2017-10-13 14:30:48 +08:00
future.
