Welcome to TeXmacs!


TeXmacs is a free what-you-see-is-what-you-get scientific text editor, which was both inspired by TeX and Emacs. The program implements high quality mathematical typesetting using TeX fonts, but it is also provides a user friendly interface.

The high typesetting quality still goes through for automatically generated formulas, which makes TeXmacs suitable as an interface for computer algebra systems. TeXmacs also supports the Guile/Scheme extension language, which makes it possible to adapt the user interface to specific needs and even to extend the editor.

TeXmacs currently runs on PC's under Gnu-linux (a >200MHz processor and >32Mb of memory are recommended) and on sun computers. The editor is more or less compatible with the TeX system and we are improving our interface with computer algebra systems. Subsequently, TeXmacs should also support graphics and hypertext features.
