[Texmacs-dev] Copying tex and latex code from emacs to texmacs

[henri-biard]

Hi,

>Note that TeX and LaTeX are not part of the GNU system.

The comment was related to using emacs.  Texinfo accepts tex commands

and it would be good if I can import equation regions from a texi file into

TeXmacs, and for TeXmacs to translate it into its internal format.

>If you need to do this very often

Yes, I routinely want to do this often, because I write much texinfo files

with equations marked in tex.

Note that TeX and LaTeX are not part of the GNU system.

This is easy: just use 'Edit -> Paste from -> LaTeX'.

If you need to do this very often, then you may also look at
'Tools -> Miscellaneous -> Import selections as'.
