NAME
       GNU TeXmacs - a WYSIWYG mathematical 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 docu-
       ments via a wysiwyg (what-you-see-is-what-you-get) and user friendly interface.	New styles may be created by the user. The program  imple-
       ments 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 com-
       puter 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.
