Dear TeXmacs users,

I've been looking through different help files, but I still can't figure it out (btw to whom it may concern links on http://www.texmacs.org/tmweb/manual/webman-config.en.html are broken).

I've been looking to find or create a keyboard shortcut for the \folded-std or standard fold command, since I use it very often. It doesn't seem to be part of the original package, so I guess I will have to create it.

Although the instructions here http://www.texmacs.org/tmweb/manual/webman-scheme.en.html are extensive and more help is in here, http://www.texmacs.org/tmweb/documents/tutorials/TeXmacs-customization.pdf, I can't seem to find where do I get the names of keyboard buttons from, and where should I place it to.

Dear TeXmacs list users,

I was not sure, whether anyone has noticed my question, but I am looking for beginner's help.

1) Specifically I am looking for a way to create/use neutral tags within the system. Such as you could
remark a particular sentence or two within a text as 'Important' in a way that you can now do for
'Emphasize'. However in this case you may specify a wider variety of styles.
These tags could be later used within TeXmacs or by some other programme.

2) Then I am looking for a way to edit the formatting of a particular tag within the interface via mouse
button or keyboard shortcut, such as it is used with switch and fold items at the moment.
- The easiest case could be to make 'Important' parts of the text 'Hidden' or 'Unhidden' on command.


I understand that the code may have constraints in it to make it difficult, for example if you add a folded
text body as the value of a custom variable such as:

<\assign|mytag>
  <\folded-std>
    head text
  <|folded-std>
    folded contents
  </folded-std>
</assign>

It allows you to unfold it once on each calling of the text, however you can not fold it back. When you use
a switch in a similar context it seems unable to change it at all.

This of course is probably not the best way to do this, so I am just testing the boundaries. But if anyone
could give some guidelines as to which way to look or if there are tutorials I should look at, I would be grateful.

Many thanks,
Peeter

Hi,

I thought I would also post a more concise question on the topic for readability.

1) I'm looking to navigate within several switches at the same time, so that you could have
the following:


switch-content-1/switch-content-2/switch-content-3/switch-content-4

body text

switch-content-1/switch-content-2/switch-content-3/switch-content-4


So that the switches could be tied to each other, that is you could switch between
contents on both lines simultaneously.


2) The most powerful way to do this, would be if you could tag each member within a switch,
e.g. main/comment/review/changed, and then make switches for the entire document that
would manipulate the visibility of all sections bearing the same tag simultaneously.

* This would then even allow you to put several tags under the same visibility status, such
as switch( main / main+comments / main+comments+review / changed) for example.


Many thanks if you are able to help me,

Peeter

Hi all,

I was looking for a beginner's forum to post this question, but as I found none, I hope
this list is a suitable place. I have just discovered texmacs, and I'm quite excited
about the possibilities of using this.

Texmacs definately has a focus on making the materials publishable and presentable, but
I'm thinking that it's significant customizability might also make it an ideal solution for other
purposes where structured documents might be useful.


I have found the single 'unroll' and 'switch' capabilities, and I am wondering whether these might
also be used in a more complex manner.

So that you could link up more than one 'unroll' tree or 'switch' tree to each-other, so that when
looping through one, also others would go through. E.g. as when looping between subchapter/subparagraph
visibility in some outliners (e.g. emacs org-mode) or using the switch to loop through visibility of
all comments/remarks/proofs etc.

This would allow Texmacs to be used as both a platform for several drafts, as well as an interface
for collected data.


Can anyone guide me to such possibilities? If they do not exist in the basic set-up, perhaps someone
has made their own style package or extension which does something similar?


What would be ideal, is if you could create switch/unfold structures for a certain subchapters-type-x,
subchapters-type-y, subchapters-type-z, while combinations of switch-unroll would be even more
powerful.

If anything similar does not exist, it does seem that custom packages may give a very easy way
to implement this. Maybe someone has advice on how to go about doing this.


Thanks for the help,
Peeter
