<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>.
|
|
Documents can be saved in <TeXmacs>, <name|Xml> or <name|Scheme> format and
|
|
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.
