Quick Start

A texish document is a plain text file. The document features — titles, sections, lists, figures — live in a format you load with \use{document} at the top.

A first document

Save this as hello.texish:

\use{document}

\title{A First Document}
\author{Your Name}
\date{June 2026}
\maketitle

\section{Introduction}
Welcome to texish. This paragraph is set in Latin Modern Roman and broken into
lines the way \TeX\ does. Input conventions give you proper typography for free:
``curly quotes'', an en--dash, an em---dash, and an ellipsis\dots

\section{A little mathematics}
Inline math sits in the text, like $a^2 + b^2 = c^2$, and a displayed equation is
centered on its own line:
$$ \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}. $$

Render it

With the command-line tool:

texish hello.texish            # writes hello.pdf
texish hello.texish -t png     # writes hello.png (one per page)

The output lands beside the source file. Pass -o to choose a different path, -p a4 for A4 paper, and -r fhd for a higher-resolution PNG.

Next steps

• Text and markup — emphasis, code, colour, and clickable links.
• Mathematics — the full math-mode vocabulary.
