The use case is much broader. I basically do my work in texinfo which supports only plain text. Instead of rewriting, I could just import them into TeXmacs. I have also been using texinfo output to html using mathjax. If some minor things in TeXmacs are given some attention, I would find TeXmacs more suitable than other applications for writing brief documents. A very useful feature in TeXmacs is the ease by which the font size can be increased and text colour added. >Which operating system are you using?

OK, thanks for clarifying; I understand now. Unfortunately, we don't have the manpower to write converters for Texinfo. But we would welcome such converters if someone has the time to program them. It does not seem extremely hard, but it is likely to take some time. Best wishes, --Joris -------- * A converter for texinfo is not particularly important. The TeXmacs team could look into the feasibility. But I texinfo uses @commands which most likely do not make sense in TeXmacs. One of them is macros (@macro). Other constructs are conditionals (@ifset, @ifclear) A summary of commands are listed here https://ftp.gnu.org/old-gnu/Manuals/texinfo-3.9/html_chapter/texinfo_24.html My routine work usually involves converting equations. A useful thing would be to construct mathematical expressions rapidly in TeXmacs, so I can paste them as standard plain text commands in texinfo math blocks Example: texinfo code using @tex command for plain tex mathematical expressions. @tex \noindent $\underline{\bf Morlet\; Wavelet}$ $$ \displaystyle \psi = \pi^{-1/4} e^{-{t^2 / 2}} (e^{i \xi_0 t} - e^{-\xi_0^2 / 2}) $$ @end tex Currently this is easier to do with LyX rather than TeXmacs. In LyX you can do View > Source Pane Another good feature of LyX is the ability to select the size of the toolbar icons. Viev > Toolbars > (Small Sized Icons | Normal Sized Icons | Big Sized Icons | Huge Sized Icons | Giant Sized Icons ) My vision used to be 20-20 but has been degrading in the last decade. I struggle to see and use the small sized toolbar icons and the menubar text of TeXmacs. Thank you, Henri Biard Old Fart and Curmudgeon
