What is a TM file?

TM files mostly belong to TeXmacs by Free Software Foundation. A TM file is a technical or scientific document created with TeXmacs structured text editor. The TM file is written in a mix of LaTeX macro language and XML. Although its contents are saved as plain text, graphical objects defined in a TM file are rendered as actual graphics in TeXmacs. Another type of TM file is a thematic mapper bitmap captured by the Landsat satellite. tecmail online email marketing application saves its configuration in a TM file.

How can I open a TM file?

You need a suitable software like TeXmacs to open a TM file. Without proper software you will receive a Windows message "How do you want to open this file?" or "Windows cannot open this file" or a similar Mac/iPhone/Android alert. If you cannot open your TM file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a TM file directly in the browser:. Just drag the file onto this browser window and drop it.

TM format details:

If you know the file format, you can also find out how to open or edit the file. A file format is determined by the file extension and signature, so JPEG images have the extension .jpg and the first bytes in the file are ÿØÿ. However, different programs can use the same file extension. Furthermore, a file extension can be renamed incorrectly and double-clicking on it will then display an error when it is opened. If there are problems opening a file, you must first determine the file format used. In the following you will find our evaluation of the TM files:
