I am glad to read that. I hope you advertise to other teachers.

You can find a lot of discussion (and a package I designed) about this
on the mailing list archive.

http://listes.hautesavoie.net/wws/arc/texmacs-users

(then click on the "I am not a spammer" button)

Try searching for keywords "header" and "footer".

You can use undocumented primitives decorate-atoms and decorate-lines
for this. Decorate-atoms applies a macro on every soft (hyphenated)
line and (I suppose) decorate-lines applies a macro on ever hard
(paragraph) line.

You can grep in the distribution .ts files for examples of use of
decorate-atoms. (grep datoms)

There was also a lot of previous discussion on the mailing about that.
PS file created by TeXmacs are converted to PDF wich is rendered very
poorly by Acrobat Reader (because TeXmacs export Type3 fonts).

Apart from that, the fonts are included in the document and I do not
know of any situation when the converted PDF has 'blank pages'.

TeXmacs is NOT a LaTeX front-end and is unrelated to emacs.
