GNU TeXmacs

From Biocrawler, the free encyclopedia.

GNU T_EX_MACS (alternatively, TeXmacs) is a free scientific word processor component of the GNU project, which was inspired by both T_EX and GNU Emacs. It is written and maintained by Joris van der Hooven. The program allows you to write structured documents via a user-friendly WYSIWYG interface. New styles may be created by the user. The program implements high-quality typesetting algorithms and T_EX fonts, which help the user to produce professional looking documents.

The high typesetting quality still goes through for automatically generated formulas, which makes T_EX_MACS suitable as an interface for a number of computer algebra systems including Maxima. TeXmacs also supports the Guile/Scheme extension language, so that you may customize the interface and write your own extensions to the program.

T_EX_MACS currently runs on x86- and PowerPC-based computers under GNU/Linux (a 200MHz processor and 32 MB of memory or higher are recommended), under UNIX compatibility layers for Microsoft Windows (Cygwin) and Mac OS X (Fink), and on Sun computers. Converters exist for TeX/LaTeX, and they are under development for HTML/MathML/XML. In the future, T_EX_MACS is planned to evolve towards a complete scientific office suite, with spreadsheet capacities, a technical drawing editor and a presentation mode.
