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 documents  via
     a	wysiwyg (what-you-see-is-what-you-get) and user friendly interface.  New
     styles may be created by the  user.  The  program	implements  high-quality
     typesetting algorithms and TeX fonts, which help you to produce profession-
     ally looking documents.

     The high typesetting quality still goes through for automatically generated
     formulas, which makes TeXmacs suitable as an interface for computer algebra
     systems. TeXmacs also supports the Guile/Scheme extension language, so that
     you  may  customize the interface and write your own extensions to the edi-
     tor.

     TeXmacs currently runs on PC's and PPC's under Gnu/linux (a >200MHz proces-
     sor 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 conver-
	    sion  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  in-
	    stance,  ecss11@400 would give a sans serif font at 400 dpi.  By de-
	    fault, 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 TeX-
	    macs.

     -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  op-
	    tion. 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  in-
	    stalled 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 exe-
	    cuted in the same order.
