GNU TeXmacs

What GNU TeXmacs is

GNU TeXmacs is a free scientific editing platform for creating technical documents in a WYSIWYG interface. It supports structured documents with text, mathematics, graphics, and interactive content, as well as slides. Its rendering engine uses typesetting algorithms, and the welcome page lists support for multiple languages. TeXmacs can also serve as a graphical front end for systems in computer algebra, numerical analysis, and statistics. Documents can be saved in TeXmacs, XML, or Scheme format, printed as PDF or PostScript, and converted to or from TeX/LaTeX and HTML/MathML. Users can write styles and extend editor features with Scheme. Plug-ins can connect existing software, customize keyboard shortcuts and menus, add style files, and introduce functionality or typesetting primitives in Guile/Scheme. Desktop apps are available for Linux, macOS, and Windows, with offline editing and track changes. The project recommends its texmacs-users mailing list for user support, particularly for novices. Its tutorials page warns that some instructions may be outdated, including menu entries and keyboard shortcuts. GNU TeXmacs is licensed under the GNU General Public License.
