NAME

       texmacs - GNU project TeXmacs WYSIWYG scientific 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.
