TeXmacs Vue — GNU TeXmacs in the browser
Try it: https://mgubi.github.io/texmacs/ — an experimental port of GNU TeXmacs 2.1.5 which runs in a web page (branch wip_wasm_vue). Nothing is installed, and nothing leaves the browser unless you download it.
What it is: stock TeXmacs compiled to WebAssembly, on Vue, a new interface for TeXmacs (Clay, SDL3 and MuPDF, below), with the S7 Scheme in place of Guile and OpenType fonts, OpenType mathematics included. What works: editing and typesetting, the menus and dialogs (drawn in the page), a tab per document, your files kept in the browser (upload, drag and drop, zip projects, downloads), printing (the PDF opens in a tab of the browser), the clipboard of the system, Scheme sessions, and the Remote menu (a TeXmacs server over WebSocket). Not yet: plugins which run programs (a page has no processes), wss for TeXmacs servers on other machines, resizing the dialogs. Tested in Firefox and Safari. Issues: a problem of this port which does not happen in the official TeXmacs distribution is to be reported on the issue page of this repository, not to the TeXmacs project; the others go to TeXmacs as usual. First visit: some 11 MB before it starts (the program, and the files it needs to boot), the rest in the background; a second visit loads nothing. Published by the CI, which runs on the branch vue_ci only: the work goes on in wip_wasm_vue without triggering it, and a state is built, tested and published with git push origin wip_wasm_vue:vue_ci. Each run also keeps the page as an artifact (texmacs-wasm-web). Build it: see src/README.md and, for the design, the notes and the plan, src/docs/wasm/.
The Vue interface (desktop), branch wip_vue Work in progress: a graphical back end for GNU TeXmacs which owes nothing to a widget toolkit. The Vue plugin draws the editor, the bars, the menus, the dialogs and the tools itself, on three libraries — Clay for the layout, SDL3 for the windows, the input and the clipboard, and MuPDF for the pixels. Everything outside the plugin and its notes is stock TeXmacs, save for the few places which had to learn that the GUI is neither Qt nor X11.
Code: src/src/Plugins/Vue/, with its TODO and its tests/ Developer notes: src/docs/ — the graphics stack, the widgets, the test harness, how the TeXmacs core talks to a GUI plugin, and how to build and debug it Build: ./configure --with-gui=vue --with-sdl3 --with-mupdf=<prefix>, from src/
