Re: [TeXmacs] compatiable issue of latex output file

I am confused myself. You tell me that Elsevier did not accept
a converted TeXmacs paper. What do you mean by this?
It now seems that you just meant to say that there was some kind of bug
when you tried to run LaTeX on a converted file. Please be precise.

I never heard about Elsevier refusing submissions of papers written using TeXmacs.
It sometimes does occur that papers get converter incorrectly.
In that case, I also need more precisions. Best is to attach the file
which did not convert well, or part of it, or send it to me in private.

Please understand that I have no time to reply to approximate messages.

[TeXmacs] TeXmacs documents

Dear all,
I am writing a small article on TeXmacs; but I am in linguistics and
history, and I would love to be able to show off the kind of documents it
could put out for the natural sciences.
Does anyone have a good document I can use for sample shots?

Yours,
Morten

[TeXmacs] snow leopard (mac os X), texmacs, and Virtualbox

hi everybody

i wanted to know if anyone has tried to install texmacs on a snow  
leopard
i would like to upgrade from leopard to snow leopard
but i won't do it yet if it may lead to problems with texmacs

an other solution to use texmacs, is to use it in an virtual linux  
environment
in this perspective, the work of Paul Zarucki interests me a lot
it is independant of the OS you use
BUT, i have not looked at Paul's works since months, because i  
encounter a simple problem that blocks me:
my maths documents are on the hard drive of my mac
so i need to exchange documents between the Finder of my mac OS X, and  
the Paul's Debian Linux i would use in Virtual Box
the problem is, if Parallels-Desktop (a software) let the user  
exchange by drag and drop files between mac OS and any virtual system,  
Virtual Box (freeware) does'nt seem to offer this important  
possibility. Or, i have not found it.

An other means (not so good but..) would be to use a usb stick
but i did not manage yet to reach the usb stick in Debian Linux

Does anyone know a solution to this problem ?

[TeXmacs] cancel selection by typing something

an other question

in all the mac or pc applications o know, when i select a text, then  
type something, what i am typing replaces the selction

in texmacs it does not. Sometimes i am agaced because when i want to  
work fast, i type as i am used to do, and i notice then that the  
selction is still there, so i have to cancel it.

is there something to select in the "options" that would tell texmacs,  
to erase the selction when the user type something ?

The Fink texmacs-1.0.7.2-2 package builds and runs OK on Snow Leopard. 
This is the X11 version. The qt and aqua versions do not build, because 
qt4-mac does not build yet. But they are too broken to be usable anyway.

I installed texmacs (1.0.7.2) on Leopard with macports and it works  
fine for me.
The latest macports version (1.8.0) works on Snow Leopard, but I  
didn't test it.

This behavior you describe is common on Windows (and maybe Macintosh as well).  Nowadays it becomes more and
more common on applications running on Unix-based Systems (Linux, Solaris, etc.).  Unixes normally did
not have this way of handling user input; I guess lots of typical Unix applications never will (Emacs e. g.).

Right, a switch would be nice.  I don't know if there is any for this.  Emacs at least has it ;-)

Greetings,

Re: [TeXmacs] snow leopard (mac os X), texmacs, and Virtualbox

hi Martin and Marco, thanks for the answers
the problem is, i do not understand a single word of your messages
when i will have installed snow leopard, what is now the simple method  
to install texmacs ?
the habitual page on texmacs.org ?
dont ask me if i want binaries or sources, or fink or macports or x11  
or qt4 because it is like chinese for me -)
just want a simple page that explains me do this and do that to  
install the thing

for me, a simple install is when you drag the icon from the opened dmg- 
image to the applications folder
for me a difficult installation is when you have to click on a .pkg,  
to enter your password, to answer questions, and after 5 minutes say  
"ouf" when the installator has finished its work

a force the trait a little, because my aim is to be able one day, to  
present texmacs to my colleagues, and to tell them, "texmacs is easy  
to install, just do this", among them of course 80% only know how to  
start and shut off the computer

as i said in former message, best solution would be debian linux of  
Paul, but i have not found yet the means to exchange files between  
real hard drive and virtual hard drive of virtual debian

thanks :-) and sorry for bad english :-)

Vincent

[TeXmacs] change list to other list

hi everyone

sometimes i create a liste like this

- one
- two
- tree

and i would like to change it into an other form of list like this on

1) one
2) two
3) tree

i encounter difficulties to do this, i manage with cut/paste but it is  
a bit long and the method is not satisfying

is there a more simple means to do this ?
