Thank you, Joris
Also minor improvement is needed in the Latex converter.
I notice that the latex converter redefines the \mathbf{} command
inputed in Texmacs to the following command:
\newcommand{\tmmathbf}[1]{\ensuremath{\boldsymbol{#1}}}
This new command generates a bold but italic character when processed
by Tex engine.
It is obvious that if the Latex converter leave the \mathbf{} command
unchanged as:
\newcommand{\tmmathbf}[1]{\mathbf{#1}}
Then the latex output will be o.k.
I will find some time to improve the Latex converter in this way. If
somebody here already did this, I'm glad to use your patch. thanks!
