<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
|
|
<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-break><shortcut|(interactive docgrep-in-doc)>. Another important thing you might want to do is to
|
|
<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 <hyper-link|<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 <hyper-link|<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 <hyper-link|<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 <hyper-link|<menu|Help|About>|../../about/about.en.tm> menu
|
|
contains more information about <TeXmacs>, like information about its
|
|
<hyper-link|authors|../../about/authors/authors.en.tm>, how to
|
|
<hyper-link|contact us|../../about/authors/contact.en.tm>, and
|
|
<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 <menu|Help|Online help>. 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 <hyper-link|contribute|../../about/contribute/contribute.en.tm>
|
|
to the <TeXmacs> project. You can also make a
|
|
<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 <hyper-link|<menu|Help|Help us>|../contribute/contribute.en.tm> and
|
|
<hyper-link|<menu|Help|Projects>|../projects/projects.en.tm> menus. In
|
|
<hyper-link|<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 <hyper-link|<menu|Help|Source
|
|
code>|../../devel/source/source.en.tm>.
