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

[Massimiliano Gubinelli]

Dear Henri,

 for the math formulas, as Joris said, you can do copy to LaTeX and just paste them as text wherever you want. I doubt that for very simple formulas you see differences from TeX/LaTeX. But again, for this kind of workflows where you are interested in typesetting single TeX _expression_ maybe other applications are more suitable.

Which operating system are you using?

As for the size of the UI, if you go to View -> Retina settings  you can modify the scale factor for the fonts. But we do not currently have options for larger icons. 

Best regards,

Massimiliano Gubinelli

Hi Henri,

OK, thanks for clarifying; I understand now.

Unfortunately, we don't have the manpower to write converters for Texinfo.
But we would welcome such converters if someone has the time to program them.
It does not seem extremely hard, but it is likely to take some time.

Best wishes, --Joris

 * A converter for texinfo is not particularly important. The TeXmacs team could

look into the feasibility.  But I texinfo uses @commands which  most likely do

not make sense in TeXmacs.  One of them is macros (@macro).  Other constructs

are conditionals (@ifset, @ifclear)

A summary of commands are listed here

https://ftp.gnu.org/old-gnu/Manuals/texinfo-3.9/html_chapter/texinfo_24.html

My routine work usually involves converting equations.  A useful thing would

be to construct mathematical expressions rapidly in TeXmacs, so I can paste them

as standard plain text commands in texinfo math blocks

Example: texinfo code using @tex command for plain tex mathematical expressions.

@tex
\noindent $\underline{\bf Morlet\; Wavelet}$
$$ \displaystyle \psi
= \pi^{-1/4} e^{-{t^2 / 2}} (e^{i \xi_0 t} - e^{-\xi_0^2 / 2}) $$
@end tex

Currently this is easier to do with LyX rather than TeXmacs.  In LyX you can do

View > Source Pane

Another good feature of LyX is the ability to select the size of the toolbar icons.

Viev > Toolbars > (Small Sized Icons

| Normal Sized Icons

| Big Sized Icons

| Huge Sized Icons

| Giant Sized Icons )

My vision used to be 20-20 but has been degrading in the last decade.

I struggle to see and use the small sized toolbar icons and the menubar

text of TeXmacs.

Thank you,
