I'd like to point out that it is an approximation; the LaTeX \url also
affects line-breaking, so that it happens at places and in a manner
that doesn't make the URL ambiguous. It would rock to have the same in
TeXmacs, independently of the particular Bas was presenting here.

I have not understood the following quoted paragraph. Could you please
enlighten me?

Your use of "export" suggests you speak about the TeXmacs -> LaTeX
direction; and then I'm lost. AFAIK there is no "url" construct in
TeXmacs (no hybrid command with that name, at least).

If you speak about the LaTeX -> TeXmacs direction, do you mean "get
the import code to treat \url exactly as it treats \verb" (modulo
block delimiter issues)?

You did something that was supposed to do that in
src/Data/Convert/Tex/parsetex.cpp, right?

What does this have to do with what comes before?

This is about the TeXmacs -> LaTeX direction; I'm lost again.
