GeoGebra, and I also want to show them TeXmacs (I assume their skills with computers are not very high, so I
forget LaTeX or Lyx). Usually, when I make pictures with GeoGebra i export the pstricks code, the compile
it using Kile, or something else, in order to get a high quality picture, then include it within a TeXmacs
document. However, I want to avoid passing through LaTeX with them. I've already asked if someone knows
how to use the pstricks code produced by GeoGebra to insert a picture in TeXmacs... I was not lucky last
time, but I feel lucky today...

Pstricks is really a LaTeX package, so we do not have any direct support for it.
The simplest solution remains to create a postscript image and to include it
into your TeXmacs document.

[TeXmacs] strike out an expression

Is there a way to strike out selected text?

Like if I am in math mode, reducing a rational expression

(x-3)(y+4)
----------
  3(x-3)

I'd like to strike out the (x-3) in the numerator and denominator. A slash would be best instead of a
horizontal line like <strike></strike>.

[TeXmacs] Multilanguage documents on TeXmacs

Hi,

I have asked this question before. The answers have been from the 
programing point, but for the moment I have no time for that approach so 
I have tried a more craftsman's approach putting just the English 
paragraph after the Spanish one. This is the result:

http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/394620/U/Maestria/Educacion/Tesis/EscritoTesis/articuloTesisMaestria-es-en.pdf
http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/394620/U/Maestria/Educacion/Tesis/EscritoTesis/articuloTesisMaestria-es-en.tm

As you see, having this arrangements seems difficult to read, so I 
thought in a more easy one. To put the paragraph and its translation in 
different columns one in front of the other. Is this possible on 
TeXmacs? I recently remember to read someone who post a similar 
questions (and answered himself but I can not find it). Any pointer to 
the solution will be welcomed.

Thanks

[TeXmacs] session on a remote host

Hi,

There is a hidden feature of the R session that allows a user to log
to a remote host to execute the R session there. I use it quite a lot,
because my local machine is sometimes not strong enough, so I can ssh
to another machine, and run R there.

The way it works, though in the current version it seems a bit broken,
is that you set two environment variables:
TEXMACS_CMD and TEXMACS_SEND

TEXMACS_CMD you set to a command to execute instead of R. For example /bin/tcsh
TEXMACS_SEND you set to a string to send to that command, instead of
the load library command, for example "".
Then you have a shell prompt, you ssh to the remote machine, and then
run R. You still have to load the TeXmacs library on the remote
machine, so you should install it there. And, it is important that you
can log in without a password prompt, because that is not handled.

Quite a complicated procedure...
It has to be a bit flexible, because sometimes you'll have to log to a
gateway and then from there log to the computer you want, or some
such.

Anyway, it would probably be good if one could tell TeXmacs from
within the program which type of session you want - R or shell.
Possibly other session types also benefit from accessing a remote
server.

The question is how to do that best? One could easily have two

Re: [TeXmacs] f(x)=&&& if x<0 and §§§ if 0<x<2 and ...

I think my previous reply didn't make it. Here it is again.....

To make the alt key work on my Mac, I have a file called ~/.Xmodmap
containing the following:
clear Mod1
clear Mod2
keycode 63 = Mode_switch
keycode 66 = Meta_L
add Mod1 = Meta_L
add Mod2 = Mode_switch

then, if you call:
xmodmap ~/.Xmodmap
(I`m sure there is some way to have that done automatically when X11
starts...), alt keys work again on TeXmacs.

[TeXmacs] newby: margin/sidenotes - if & how?

Re: [TeXmacs] newby: margin/sidenotes - if & how?

Hi,

i asked exactly the same question some time ago. And the response was
clear : this feature is not yet implemented.

I indeed do consider that it is really more helpfull for teaching notes
than footnotes.
