<expand|tmdoc-title|Welcome to GNU <TeXmacs>>
<section|How to get started>
If you are new to <TeXmacs>, then you might first want to get some
information on how to read the documentation. Click
<apply|hyper-link|here|../../main/start/man-conventions.en.tm> with your
mouse in order to learn more about the conventions which are used
throughout the documentation. You may search for words in the documentation
by pressing <no_line_break><key|F1>. Another important thing you might want
to do is to <apply|hyper-link|configure|../../main/config/man-configuration.en.tm>
<TeXmacs> so that it will suit your needs best.
<section|Information for general users>
<\itemize>
<item>In the <apply|hyper-link|<apply|menu|Help|Manual>|../../main/man-manual.en.tm>
menu, you find the main documentation about how to use <TeXmacs>. The
manual is quite complete, but not very detailed.
<item>In the <apply|hyper-link|<apply|menu|Help|Tutorial>|../../tutorial/tut-tutorial.en.tm>
menu, we have started a <TeXmacs> tutorial. The tutorial is mainly
intended for beginners, but the later chapters should also be useful for
more experienced users. Unfortunately, the tutorial is not very complete
yet.
<item>In the <apply|hyper-link|<apply|menu|Help|Style>|../../devel/style/style.en.tm>
menu, the different <apply|TeXmacs> document styles are documented. It is
also explained how to create your own styles and preambles.
<item>The <apply|hyper-link|<apply|menu|Help|About>|../../about/about.en.tm>
menu contains more information about <TeXmacs>, like information about
its <apply|hyper-link|authors|../../about/authors/authors.en.tm>, how to
<apply|hyper-link|contact us|../../about/authors/contact.en.tm>, and
<apply|hyper-link|changes|../../about/changes/changes.en.tm> in different
versions of the program.
<item>It is always possible to get updated documentation from the web
using <apply|menu|Help|Online help>. Documentation in the form of full
books is also available in <apply|menu|Help|full manuals>. In fact, you
may compile such books yourself from any help page using
<apply|menu|Help|full manuals|Compile book>. This may take a few seconds
though.
</itemize>
<section|Contribute to <TeXmacs>>
One great thing about free software is that you may adapt the software to
fit your own needs and share your experiences with others. In fact, this
turns out to be far easier than most people think. Therefore you might wish
to learn more about how to <apply|hyper-link|contribute|../../about/contribute/contribute.en.tm>
to the <TeXmacs> project. You can also make a
<apply|hyper-link|donation|../../about/contribute/material/donations.en.tm>
to us.
If you want to contribute to <TeXmacs>, or if you want to adapt the program
for some particular purpose, then you will find more useful information in
the <apply|menu|Help> menu. The <apply|hyper-link|<apply|menu|Help|Document
format>|../../devel/format/format.en.tm> submenu contains information about
the <TeXmacs> document format and in <apply|hyper-link|<apply|menu|Help|Interfacing>|../../devel/plugin/plugin.en.tm>
it is explained how to interface <TeXmacs> with other systems. A part of
the source code has also been documented in
<apply|hyper-link|<apply|menu|Help|Source
code>|../../devel/source/source.en.tm>.
