<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
|
|
<hlink|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-break><shortcut|(interactive docgrep-in-doc)>. Another important thing
|
|
you might want to do is to <hlink|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 <hlink|<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 <hlink|<menu|Help|Reference
|
|
guide>|../../main/man-reference.en.tm> menu, you find more detailed
|
|
documentation about the <TeXmacs> format, its primitives and environment
|
|
variables, and the standard style files.
|
|
|
|
<item>In the <hlink|<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>The <hlink|<menu|Help|About>|../../about/about.en.tm> menu contains
|
|
more information about <TeXmacs>, like information about its
|
|
<hlink|authors|../../about/authors/authors.en.tm>, how to <hlink|contact
|
|
us|../../about/authors/contact.en.tm>, and
|
|
<hlink|changes|../../about/changes/changes.en.tm> in different versions
|
|
of the program.
|
|
|
|
<item>Documentation in the form of full books is also available in
|
|
<menu|Help|full manuals>. In fact, you may compile such books yourself
|
|
from any help page using <menu|Help|full manuals|Compile book>. This may
|
|
take a few minutes 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 <hlink|contribute|../../about/contribute/contribute.en.tm>
|
|
to the <TeXmacs> project. You can also make a
|
|
<hlink|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 <hlink|<menu|Help|Help us>|../contribute/contribute.en.tm> and
|
|
<hlink|<menu|Help|Projects>|../projects/projects.en.tm> menus. In
|
|
<hlink|<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 <hlink|<menu|Help|Source
|
|
code>|../../devel/source/source.en.tm>.
