Experimental TeXmacs wiki

[pireddag]

Dear all,
Massimiliano started an experimental (so some of its features may change) wiki at https://texmacs.github.io/notes/. People can contribute through pull requests at https://github.com/texmacs/notes.
If the experiment is successful in a few weeks it could be linked to from the main TeXmacs webpage and so become more widely known.
I hope that can be, together with the mailing list and the forum, a place where users can contribute to the development of the software.

The discourse forum is notifying me as I write of two posts relevant to his topic, so I link to them here

Undocumented internal macros in TeXmacs

This post is devoted to a collection of undocumented TeXmacs internal macros, hopefully this will help the documentation of TeXmacs. I hope that this document would be something similar to Community Wiki in stackexchange. However, I don’t know whether this forum supports this, so maybe it might be better to migrate to another place later. (render-footnote* sym nr body). src. Generate a footnote like sym. body where sym is the preceding symbol and body is the text of the footnote. It will…

A wiki for texmacs

Wiki pages for Texmacs from/for users in math, cs, physics is a good idea.

I spent some time on thinking about the scope and usefulness of the “blog/wiki”. I think it should be seen as a place where shared knowledge about TeXmacs can be condensed and made persistent. In this regard, even if I initiated a page with “wishes”, it should not be considered a place where people put bugs or generic requests for improvement, I do not think this is useful to the large community and there are better places for attract the attention of the developers (i.e. the texmacs-dev mailing list and the bug tracker). So I would suggest we collect in the blog various constructive material like snippets, examples, use cases, history, personal workflows, etc… anything that can help other users and it is worth sharing.
