TeXmacs is not a front-end to LaTeX but TeXmacs documents can be converted to either TeX or LaTeX. The goal of TeXmacs is to provide a WYSIWYG editor that nevertheless makes it possible to write correctly structured documents with aesthetically pleasing typesetting results. Like in many WYSIWYG editors (such as Microsoft Word), authors manipulate a document on screen which should print to a similar-looking paper copy. A cyan focus frame surrounds the innermost environment (a formula environment) the cursor is in, while the subtle gray box surrounds another active tag (the theorem environment). On another side of the editing and document preparation world, a program for visual interaction with structured texts written in LaTeX is LyX, which does not aim at WYSIWYG editing but at visual representation of the structure ( WYSIWYM).Ī screenshot showing mathematical formulas and italic font.
In the 2000s and 2010s interest on interactive editing of structured text encouraged the development of programs intended for scholars in the humanities an example of this is CWRC-Writer, a visual XML editor with "Close-to-WYSIWYG editing and enrichment of scholarly texts with meaningful visual representations of markup". 1 An outline of interactive editing of structured text (1980s-2020s)Īn outline of interactive editing of structured text (1980s-2020s) Īs structured WYSIWYG editor and document preparation system, TeXmacs is similar to earlier structured document editors, such as Interleaf (first release 1985), Framemaker (1986), SoftQuad Author/Editor (1988), Lilac, Grif (1991), and Thot there was also academic research into interactive editing of complex typographical constructs represented logically.
