Hello Joris, David and everybody else!
1) Move by word, sentence, paragraph
These are features found in most text editors that I would like to see
in TeXmacs as well. AFAIK they are not implemented [a]. I looked at the
Guile interface, but didn't see any way to implement these functions. I
might even dig into the C++ source, but not without some guidance
beforehand. Pointers, anyone?
[a] I tried to and succeeded with implementing a multi-clipboard via
Guile, only to find out, that TeXmacs already *has* a multi-clipboard.
:-/ I should have checked more thoroughly in advance :) If there is
any interest I could turn my experiments into a mini-tutorial...
2) Documentation of the Guile Interface
Joris, you already mentioned your big plans (Guile as a plugin, pluggable
stylesheet languages) to me. Do you have some time frame in mind? I am
thinking about several features that I would like to implement, and I
would like to know a) whether your plans include changes to the Guile
(or C++) API that I should wait for. Also, I need to understand the Guile
API better before I can begin and I am ready to help documenting the
interface while I learn to use it. I have some general questions about
the internal structure of the editor though, and if you do not mind I
would ask them (in my next mail) and write up a summary of your answers
for the manual :)
BTW, the documentation of TeXmacs improved *a lot* since the last time I
looked (about a year ago). Congrats!
Regards,
Felix
