Environment: X Window system.
Application Type: Visual frontend for LaTeX.

GNU TeXmacs is a free scientific text editor, which
was both inspired by TeX and GNU Emacs. The editor allows you to write
structured documents via a wysiwyg (what-you-see-is-what-you- get) and
user friendly interface. New styles may be created by the user. The
program implements high-quality typesetting algorithms and TeX fonts,
which help you to produce professionally looking documents.
The high typesetting quality still goes through for
automatically generated formulas, which makes TeXmacs suitable as an
interface for computer algebra systems. TeXmacs also supports the
Guile/Scheme extension language, so that you may customize the interface
and write your own extensions to the editor.
TeXmacs currently runs on PC's and PPC's under
Gnu/linux (a >200MHz processor and >32Mb of memory are recommended) and
on sun computers. Converters exist for TeX/LaTeX and they are under
development for Html/Mathml/Xml. In the future, TeXmacs is planned to
evolve towards a complete scientific office suite, with spreadsheet
capacities, a technical drawing editor and a presentation mode (Source:
