I think it is fair to point at a paper where Van der Hoeven argues in detail in favor of the WYSIWYG paradigm: J. van der Hoeven. GNU TeXmacs: a free, structured, wysiwyg and techn…

I think it is so. As far as I know, there are no converters that can do that. A search with an LLM made me find https://arxiv.org/pdf/2605.16562 , a paper describing the ArXiv conv…

While Typst appears to be popular, I think that TeXmacs, https://www.texmacs.org/ , which is a program independent from both TeX and Emacs, is the kind of program that we need for …

There is some support for the LaTeX ecosystem from within TeXmacs. If you want a TikZ drawing, you can insert it programmatically into a TeXmacs document in a seamless way---if you…

It has to do with LaTeX and emacs in intent. LaTeX: accomplished typography emacs: control of the interface It delivers.

The name is weird, the project is sound :-)

Superior to LyX: fully WYSIWYG, no limitation on what it can do.

I use it for all of the pedagogical material I distribute to my high school pupils. It allows me to type quickly and accurately math and explanation with exquisite typography. It a…

I would rather use TeXmacs, it frees you from the write-compile cycle while being equivalent (maybe in some ways better) from the point of view of the control you have on the docum…

In addition to making it possible to write easily, TeXmacs is also based on a markup language. It demonstrates that a markup language and WYSIWYG writing can coexist efficiently.

I agree that the images correspond to the same region in object space. Further assumptions on optical resolution don't work well, as the optical resolution depends on the f-number.…

> assuming infinite resolution this is an assumption that goes against the concept of "f-number" so if one does it, they should not expect to get to anything sensible.

I expect depth of focus to be different.

There is some support, but I do not know the details. You might try and ask in the TeXmacs forum, at http://forum.texmacs.cn/ ; a few of the developers read it and answer questions…

"et alii" for people (masculine plural nominative) "et alia" for things (neutrum plural nominative) "et cetera" for things as well

> visual output with suboptimal aesthetics (TeXmacs, and, to some extent, LyX) Till now I took the developers word that the aesthetics of TeXmacs is better than the one of TeX and …

Packages for chemistry are useful, even if I don't use them myself. Also siunitx needs yet a TeXmacs equivalent (I think https://github.com/pireddag/SIunits/tree/simple is not yet …

On the other hand if something (in this case ease of installation) helps people to use the tool, then it helps TeXmacs too, which in turn helps users.

And slide presentations.

Here as far as I understand the fact that TeX is a Turing-complete language makes it impossible to write a converter for TeX. I read a post by Joris van der Hoeven where he said th…
