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.
