![]() The development of TeXmacs is sponsored by research institutions inįrance.

Users to perform all actions through GUI menus, and advanced users Support a transformation system general enough to support XSLT inĮasy and efficient user interface - The user interface allows novice LaTeX, but has now evolved beyond it and future versions will In older version of TeXmacs, the style system was similar to As any LaTeX or XSL userĬan expect, the layout of a document can be extensively modifiedīy simply using another style, and customized styles can beĮasily defined by combining the provided packages or by defining Is much more semantically rich and regular than TeX and is much Structured document model - The internal representation of aĭocument is a labeled tree and a style list. ![]() In particular provides betterĪlgorithms than TeX for page breaking and line staking. It alreadyĪchieves that goal most documents. The TeXmacs typesetter aims to provideĪ typesetting quality equal or better than TeX. The editor uses anti-aliasing to provide high PostScript exported) document is completely identical to the High typesetting quality and complete WYSIWYGness - The printed (or Structure used by the editor, and editing benefit from the high The software to benefit from each other: typesetting benefits from the For one thing, that allows complete fidelity of the screen Repeat, it is not) is that the typesetter is an inherent part of theĮditor. One thing that makes TeXmacs better than LaTeX front-ends (which I Structuring as LaTeX but does come with a real user interface. It allows the same flexibility of visual and logical In this perspective, TeXmacs could be considered as what Lamport would Inherent superiority of logical systems to visual ones Is bad enough to make visual systems preferable. Inconvenience of describing the document with an ASCII text file I'm not interested in the question of whether the Systems can beīuilt to allow more convenient editing of the document's logical Inherent feature of logical document production. ![]() It is a sign of the primitive nature of these systems, not an This is aĬumbersome way to represent the logical structure of a document The most relevant paragraph from this article is:Ĭurrent logical systems require the user to describe his documentĪs a text string, filled with obscure-looking commands. Interestingly, Leslie Lamport (now working for the Beast) did notīelieve structured editors had to be text-based. That is very differentįrom the LaTeX credo that users must not see the end result whileĮditing or they will produce visually structured documents. Structured document using a graphical tool. TeXmacs' philosophy is that it is possible to promote the creation of Problems of Word-alike text processors and TeX-based systems. It is a end user software which takes an innovativeĪpproach to document production, finding its own better solutions to Servers or cloning commercial software, and is otherwise stuck inĬonceptions herited from the 70's era. Some people believe that free software is mostly good at providing To TeX are METAFONT (to rasterize the high quality TeX fonts) and System which is essentially independent from TeX. Misleading, that is *not* an Emacs mode for LaTeX, but a typesetting TeXmacs is an interactive typesetting system inspired by both LaTeXĪnd emacs, but not based on any of them.
