Doesn't this have the same problem as lyx but worse? It might be nice for you to use, but sharing your files with colleagues doesn't work well and submitting to journals (converted to tex) also does not work well.
- mgubi 7y agoIt does not. I used it every day for academic research. Most of my papers converts right away to TeX for publications. Of course your have to collaborate with similarly minded people. But sometimes I just write my part in TeXmacs and then copy and paste in the collaborative LaTeX file. YMMV. And you can use it to do online lecture (not quite like LyX) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KyVc6wKE8Oc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KyVc6wKE8Oc
- azalemeth 7y agoHow well does the reverse process work? If your collaborators make changes to the TeX, is there a way to sync the two together? We tend to use git repos + XeLaTeX in my group.
- mgubi 7y agoBack and forth conversion is not fully supported, we try to have good match (see e.g. https://www.texmacs.org/joris/latexconv/latexconv.pdf https://www.texmacs.org/joris/latexconv/latexconv.pdf ). TeXmacs has its own format, so no: you cannot collaborate with people which want to edit LaTeX files. But you can convince them to use TeXmacs. :) I've never regretted. I go back to LaTeX sometimes but most of my documents are now created in TeXmacs. If you need a tool to collaborate then use things like Lyx or TeXstudio, etc... We had to get away from TeX to remove the intrinsic limitations of that technology. There is not much you can you if you want to stick to complete TeX compatibility.
