  1. TeXmacs is not stuck with outdated concepts on GNU TeXmacs and Structured Text Editing · · Score: 1
    . .
    • TeXmacs can use other fonts technologies than Metafont.
    • TeXmacs is not dependent nor does it use TeX.
    • Please try TeXmacs and see by yourself. I think the TeXmacs team will be interested in speeding up the XML/XSLT processing engine with your help.
  2. first try, then FUD on GNU TeXmacs and Structured Text Editing · · Score: 1

    Comparing the M$Word generated HTML to the TeXmacs generated LaTeX only shows that you have never exported to LaTeX from inside TeXmacs

    Go give it a try, drini. You can!
  3. For those interested in the program on GNU TeXmacs and Structured Text Editing · · Score: 1

    There's a very nice Doxygen-generated site with inheritance & composition graphs for the TeXmacs C++ classes and other goodies:

    Take me to the TeXmacs source code.

  4. Re:LyX on GNU TeXmacs and Structured Text Editing · · Score: 1
    • TeXmacs is not a frontend to LaTeX. As the previous poster explained, it has its brand-new typesetter (with some improvements).
    • It's available under the GPL
    • You can use most LaTeX macros by preceding them by a backslash. They're automatically evaluated.
    • You have some neat constructs, like "->"forms an arrow (or you can use \rightarrow, if you like to type a lot like the vim guy below), @x is an x inside a circle (sometimes used for the tensor product), >= is \geq, etc etc. TeXmacs does not help learning LaTeX, but it helps LaTeXers migrate smoothly by mimifying widely used macros.
    • TeXmacs exports to LaTeX (e.g. for article submission
    • With TeXmacs you see all math symbols on screen. With LyX you have lots of red (LaTeX) code around.
    • TeXmacs has dynamic, contextual menus.
    • TeXmacs imports html.
    • TeXmacs talks to maxima, mupad...
    • TeXmacs has an extension language
    • TeXmacs has a very dynamic documentation site at TeXmacs resources.
  5. do you see? on GNU TeXmacs and Structured Text Editing · · Score: 1

    whenever I want to see what I just wrote I just look at the screen.

    As seen here Here TeXmacs behaves well as a code documentation tool. I can imagine why it's being worked into a literate programming environment.
