    <abstract>
      TeXmacs is a ``structured text editor'' with special support for
      mathematical expressions.  The typesetting quality of the
      produced documents is intended to be as high as possible,
      i.e. comparable to the quality of documents produced with TeX;
      The user interface aims to be as natural and powerful as
      possible.  In particular, the text you see on the screen
      corresponds exactly to what you get after printing.  TeXmacs
      comes with a typed lisp extension language.  Like emacs, this
      allows you for instance to redefine keyboard and menu actions.
      TeXmacs can also be used as an interface for computer algebra
      systems.  In particular, automatically generated mathematical
      formulas are typeset in a satisfactory way.  It is possible to
      generate LaTeX and Postscript output from TeXmacs.  After
      compilation, the LaTeX output will resemble the Postscript
      output, although we guarantee no complete compatibility between
      TeXmacs and TeX.  It is also possible to import ``well written
      LaTeX documents.''  The present release includes an interface
      with ghostscript, which enables you to include postscript (and
      some other formats) of images.
