Thanks for posting your work, which looks promising,
despite a few problems with the macros on my system.
You should try to encapsulate your work in a plug-in,
with keyboard shortcuts, menus, and in which the nf-chunk
can be added to the enumerate tags during the initialization
(even better would be to add the line numbers automatically,
of course). I also miss a menu item or keyboard shortcut
for generating the target files from within TeXmacs.
Notice that plug-ins can document themselves from version 1.0.7.12 on.
Best, --Joris
