GNU TeXmacs is a free scientific word processor and typesetting component of the GNU project. It was inspired by TeX and GNU Emacs and while it shares no code with those programs, TeXmacs uses TeX fonts.[4] It is written and maintained by Joris van der Hoeven. The program produces structured documents with a WYSIWYW user interface. New document styles can be created by the user. The editor provides high-quality typesetting algorithms and TeX fonts for publishing professional looking documents.

Features

TeXmacs can handle mathematical formulas and is used as a front-end to a number of computer algebra systems such as Maxima and Sage. TeXmacs also supports a Scheme extension language called Guile for customizing the program and writing extensions.

Like many WYSIWYG editors (such as Microsoft Word) authors manipulate a document on screen which should print to a similar looking paper copy. The goal of TeXmacs is to provide a WYSIWYG editor that nevertheless makes it possible to write correctly structured documents with aesthetically pleasing typesetting results. TeXmacs is not a front-end to LaTeX but TeXmacs documents can be converted to either TeX or LaTeX. Support for HTML, MathML and XML is under development.

TeXmacs currently runs on most Unix-based architectures including Linux, FreeBSD, Cygwin and Mac OS X. Along with the Cygwin version, a native beta port is available for Microsoft Windows.

TeXmacs also features a presentation mode and there are plans to evolve towards a complete scientific office suite with spreadsheet capacities and a technical drawing editor.
