![]() Besides an improved typesetting quality with respect to TEX, the rendering engine has the major advantage that documents are typeset in real time. ![]() However, contrary to other programs such as LyX or Scientific WorkPlace, TEXmacs is not a graphical front-end for L A TEX, and an alternative rendering engine has been rewritten from scratch in C++. ![]() Some parts of TEXmacs were originally inspired by TEX and L A TEX. TEXmacs runs on all major Unix platforms, Mac OS X, and Windows. The rendering engine uses high-quality typesetting algorithms for the production of professionally looking documents, which can either be printed out or presented from a laptop. TEXmacs provides a unified and user friendly framework for editing structured documents with different types of content such as text, mathematics, computer algebra sessions, graphics, animations, hyperlinks, spreadsheets, etc. Its development was initiated in the nineties by van der Hoeven and the latest version is available from. 1 Context, motivation, and objectives GNU TEXmacs is a free wysiwyw (what you see is what you want) platform for editing scientific documents. In this software demonstration we will briefly recall its main features and present some recent developments. 2, Issue 184, June 2013 GNU TEXmacs: a scientific editing platform ∗ ⋆ Joris van der Hoeven – † Andrey Grozin – ‡ Massimiliano Gubinelli – § Grégoire Lecerf – † François Poulain – † Denis Raux – † Abstract GNU TEXmacs is a free software for editing scientific documents, which can also be used as an interface for computer algebra systems.
