you can opt for MathML or Mathjax output instead of images, but the majority of the math typesetting is more faithfully exported via images.

I didn't knew MPS but indeed seems quite similar. Both are structured editors, in the sense that you never work with "text" but with some projection of the underlying tree structure. For example you can ask TeXmacs to show yo

I did the video, and I was lazy: you can type Ctrl+arrow (as indicated in the tooltip) to insert more placeholders, no need to use the mouse. and then references are inserted with \A, etc.. Anyway you can define VIM modal keybindings ;) ht

I can agree on the mailing, I will discuss your remarks with the other developers. We are trying to support also other "community platforms", so we have now a forum: http://forum.texmacs.cn a Gitter room: https:/

No,in a previous version of TeXmacs they were active by default, we changed that now.

Interesting! I didn't knew the Tioga editor. All these pioneering work is really inspiring! Our goals fits very well into the paradigm of active documents and we have already many features implemented and beautifully typesetted : http

somebody should write an org-mode-like clone in TeXmacs, taking advantage of the structured editing features there. Is powerful enough to play tetris ( https://github.com/mgubi/tm-tetris ) , sure you can do org-mode kind

Of course. And no. It depends. :) It is refreshing. Nothing to do with TeXstudio, LyX, TeXmaker, TeXshop. The name is misleading. Opens your mind. Like Haskell, like Lisp, like Erlang, looks odd. But then you understand you always did it wr

Back and forth conversion is not fully supported, we try to have good match (see e.g. https://www.texmacs.org/joris/latexconv/latexconv.pdf ). TeXmacs has its own format, so no: you cannot collaborate with people

We are striving to fix most of the big problems before releasing version 2.1 (hopefully this year). Please report the bugs/crashes. Only in this way we can improve it.

Unintuitive interface, does not mean bad. Means just TeXmacs is different from other software (like LyX) for example. But the interface is well thought and carefully implemented. It requires some time to get acquainted but then you can do m

Many of us use everyday (me included, typing papers of +60 pages on monthly basis). There are still some rugged edges in the GUI but is certainly not alpha quality software. The Qt interface have been there since at least 2009 and nowadays

The port is ready and working. We are waiting the release of TeXmacs 2.1 soon and then we will start working to integrate it to the main branch. TeXmacs will run with Guile 3.0 with the codebase fully compiled. It should improve loading tim

It 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 c

I can understand, but please appreciate that the task the program has to perform to process typing is quite complex, especially because some delay is needed to allow keycombinations. Anyway we plan to improve responsiveness in the future.

Thanks. I will show up when I'm going back to the port. Right now real life is calling :) but I plan to resume working as soon as possible, in few weeks.

TeXmacs has also a macro system, in principle you could write a package style for this format.

I never used LyX so I cannot compare. The point I wanted to make is that in TeXmacs cursor movements are actually movements inside the document tree and there is a notion of current focus which is the innermost environment you are in. Many

LaTeX is a typesetting system, so usually you use it together with an editor and a viewer. TeXmacs is one program which does it all in such a way that you can edit the typeset document directly and that what you see on the screen is exac

You can check on the changes history or in svn/git repository that development never stopped. Since the developers are quire busy they were not so effective in advertising the hard work put in TeXmacs. We are trying to change this.
