[main]Notes on TeXmacs

Standard Output and Standard Error on Microsoft Windows

We show how to see TeXmacs' standard output and standard error on Microsoft Windows.

[6.1.2021]

On Windows, TeXmacs does not show standard output and standard error: neither when it is run from the Command shell nor from the Powershell.

It is still possible to see standard output and standard error if one redirects them to a file. Here is the command that does it for the Powershell

Start-Process -FilePath "C:\Program Files (x86)\TeXmacs\bin\texmacs.exe" -RedirectStandardOutput stdout.txt -RedirectStandardError stderr.txt

to be given in a single Powershell line.

In this command, one has to substitute for "C:\Program Files (x86)\TeXmacs\bin\texmacs.exe" the location of the TeXmacs executable in their system; stdout.txt and stderr.txt will be created in the current working directory of the Powershell session.
