Personally,

I do not think TeXmacs need a lot of users. It needs *good users*, *smart users*, *users which want to spend some time contributing to the project in some way*, *users that are willing to help improving the program*. 

Typical LaTeX users, especially those which are not able to understand manuals, and just copy things out of stackexchange, can remain there were they are. :) They certainly didn't made LaTeX what is now and will not in any way make a better environment for TeXmacs.

Give us the Lamports, the Hoenigs, the Rahtz, the Spivaks, the Tantaus, please. :)

So you don’t want high school and university students using TeXmacs to write up their math assignments?

Question of priorities. But if you give them to me for free, I accept gladly and I promise I will answer to their question on the forum.

Hello,

The idea is to have the user run a TeXmacs scan on some of their LaTeX documents.

From this scan, TeXmacs would generate a subset of its manual that explains how to write those LaTeX documents in TeXmacs.

In this way, if the user is using LaTeX in a basic way, then the TeXmacs manual would be short and relevant to that basic usage.

This might encourage more people to switch to TeXmacs because learning it would not take much time for their usage.
