From their homepage:

<<GNU TeXmacs is a free wysiwyw (what you see is what you want) editing platform with special features for scientists. The software aims to provide a unified and user friendly framework for editing structured documents with different types of content (text, graphics, mathematics, interactive content, etc.). The rendering engine uses high-quality typesetting algorithms so as to produce professionally looking documents, which can either be printed out or presented from a laptop.

The software includes a text editor with support for mathematical formulas, a small technical picture editor and a tool for making presentations from a laptop. Moreover, TeXmacs can be used as an interface for many external systems for computer algebra, numerical analysis, statistics, etc. New presentation styles can be written by the user and new features can be added to the editor using the Scheme extension language. A native spreadsheet and tools for collaborative authoring are planned for later.

TeXmacs runs on all major Unix platforms and Windows. Documents can be saved in TeXmacs, Xml or Scheme format and printed as Postscript or Pdf files. Converters exist for TeX/LaTeX and Html/Mathml. >>

The difference with other Latex based editors is that this editor does not rely on miktex, but it is totally standalone.

I have made it portable by extracting with Uniextract.

The first run is slow because it has to build the plugins directory, and some other starting operations.

Old topic update: WinPenPack portable release (v1.0.7.x) of WinTeXmacs can be downloaded from https://sourceforge.net/projects/winpen ... /releases/...

Sorry for scant info, but http://www.winpenpack.com/ appears to be down ATM.

... http://www.winpenpack.com/ appears to be down ATM.

It appears to have been a hiccup as it appears online now. The home page: http://www.winpenpack.com/en/download.php?view.661

Thanks for checking, webfork.

Here's a 3rd party screenie (although the document displayed mentions Maxima, the application is in fact TeXmacs):

@Midas
on winPenPack there is my old post about WinTexMacs ver 1.99.3 and wPP launcher http://www.winpenpack.com/en/e107_plugi ... post_60390

[Midas]

Thanks for the info, rbon.

According to you, the launcher for the existing WPP WinTeXmacs version works correctly with later versions.

BTW, TeXmacs last release is v1.99.4 regardless of the official changelog stopping at v1.07 (see http://www.texmacs.org/tmweb/home/news.en.html).
