WishlistTue Jul 22 21:49:26 2025 UTC
This wishlist collects suggestions for improvements and nice ideas for
addition to TeXmacs. These should be of limited scope and somewhat
reasonable technical difficulty. It is mostly meant for developers or
technically savyy users to collect good ideas. It should be clear that
the functionality is not already provided in some form. This wishlist
must not be used for very broad and vague requests (e.g. “make the
program more versatile and powerful").

Mathematical typesetting in TeXmacsTue Jul 22
21:49:26 2025 UTC
This document describes how TeXmacs deals with the typesetting of
mathematics, and in particular with the low level implementation of
the typesetting primitives relative to mathematical documents. It
should be useful if you are interested in understanding the C++
sources. We describe the state of facts as per svn
revision r14561 (December 2024, TeXmacs 2.14+).
Excerpts from the official documentation are included in this document
for completeness.

We describe the various mechanisms and features of TeXmacs font
handling, from the user interface at the level of the document to the
inner workings of the various fonts types at the level of the C++
source code. To support the use of a wide variety of fonts in the
typesetting of technical documents, TeXmacs implements sophisticate
algorithms to synthetize or replace the missing glyphs.

A wishlist for TeXmacs articlesTue Jul 22
21:49:26 2025 UTC
It would be useful to have some short articles or tutorials covering the
topics listed here below. This article collects them in the hope that
someone will contribute them to the blog. They can also be considered
interesting exercises to improve one own TeXmacs knowledge: learning by
teaching. In case you manage to cover, even partially, one of the topic,
please add a remark here to point to relevant material. If the topic is
covered, move it to the “Already covered” section.
