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.
