NAME
GNU TeXmacs - a WYSIWYG mathematical text editor
SYNOPSIS
texmacs [OPTION]... [SOURCE]...
INTRODUCTION
GNU TeXmacs is a free scientific text editor, which was both inspired
by TeX and GNU Emacs. The editor allows you to write structured
documents via a wysiwyg (what-you-see-is-what-you-get) and user
friendly interface. New styles may be created by the user. The program
implements high-quality typesetting algorithms and TeX fonts, which
help you to produce professionally looking documents.
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, so that you may customize the interface and write
your own extensions to the editor.
TeXmacs currently runs on PC’s and PPC’s under Gnu/linux (a >200MHz
processor and >32Mb of memory are recommended) and on sun computers.
Converters exist for TeX/LaTeX and they are under development for
Html/Mathml/Xml. In the future, TeXmacs is planned to evoluate towards
a complete scientific office suite, with spreadsheet capacities, a
technical drawing editor and a presentation mode.
DESCRIPTION
-b [file], --initialize-buffer [file]
Uses [file] as a guile/scheme initialization file for TeXmacs
buffers.
-c [in] [out], --convert [in] [out]
Convert input file [in] into output file [out]. The file
formats are determined automatically from the suffixes and as a
function of the contents of [in]. The argument list may contain
several conversion instructions and you will usually want to use
this option in combination with --quit.
-d, --debug
Display most important debugging information.
--debug-events
Display all widget events.
--debug-io
Display all communicated data between TeXmacs and extern
systems.
--debug-all
Turn all debugging flags on.
--delete-cache
This option deletes all files in the TeXmacs cache. TeXmacs uses
several caches for speeding up font, file, directory and style
file loading. However, these optimizations may be incorrect
when the user manually changes files in the TeXmacs distribution
or when new fonts are added. This is rarely the case for normal
users, but sometimes necessary for TeXmacs developers.
--delete-doc-cache
This option is similar to --delete-cache, but only deletes the
cache for accelerated help file loading.
--delete-file-cache
This option is similar to --delete-cache, but only deletes the
cache for accelerated file loading.
--delete-font-cache
This option is similar to --delete-cache, but only deletes the
cache for accelerated font loading.
--delete-style-cache
This option is similar to --delete-cache, but only deletes the
cache for accelerated style file loading.
-fn [font], --font [font]
Sets the default TeX fonts for menus and so to [font]. The
[font] is of the form [name], [name][size] or
[name][size]@[dpi]. For instance, ecss11@400 would give a sans
serif font at 400 dpi. By default, the [size] is 11 and the
[dpi] 300.
-g [geom], --geometry [geom]
Suggested geometry for TeXmacs windows. Here [geom] may be a
size [width x height] in pixels, like in ‘texmacs -g 600x480’.
It may also take the form [width x height [+|-] xoff [+|-]
yoff], like in ‘texmacs -g 800x600-100+100’.
-h, --help
Display a help message, which lists the command line options of
TeXmacs.
-i [file], --initialize [file]
Uses [file] as a guile/scheme initialization file for TeXmacs.
-Oc, --no-char-clipping
Faster but less perfect displaying of anti-aliased fonts.
+Oc, --char-clipping
High quality displaying of anti-aliased fonts (default).
-p, --path
Echo the TeXmacs path.
-q, --quit
Shortcut for the option -x "(quit-TeXmacs)".
-r, --reverse
Reverse video mode. This mode inverts and weakens the intensity
of all colors. This option is only available as a global start-
up option. You cannot change it while running TeXmacs.
-s, --silent
Silent execution: less messages to standard output.
-S, --setup
Rerun the setup program before starting TeXmacs. The setup
program analyzes your TeX/LaTeX distribution and the plugins
which are installed on your system.
-v, --version
Display the current TeXmacs version.
-V, --verbose
Display some informative messages.
-x, --execute [cmd]
Execute the scheme command [cmd] just after startup. If you
specify several -x options, then the corresponding scheme
commands are executed in the same order.
