The new documentation is on

        http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/texmacs-doc

All documentation is covered by the FDL license.

You have "section" (numbered) and "section*" (unnumbered) commands
and similarly for chapter, subsection, etc. You may redefine these
macros yourself. In that case, best is to redefine the "*"-ed variants.
Indeed, "section" is based on "section*", "subsection" on "subsection*", etc.

You may try the "tmarticle" style and let me know if you like it
(you have to choose it in "Other").

For global document changes, it is better to use the Document menu
rather than the Format menu.
