- Subject: [TeXmacs] including program files in 1.0.7.10 vs 1.0.7.7

Is there any sort of guide to how to deal with changes in the TeXmacs
behavior? While I like most of the user interface changes, the
introduction of changes in the processing of my TeXmacs documents can be
quite startling and unpleasant.
Specifically, if I have a document that has
<\big-figure>
<include|Examples/HERA2-idiom-control.cc>
<label|fig:branches>
</big-figure|Control Flow and HERA Branch Instructions.>
This renders quite differently in 1.0.7.10 than it did with 1.0.7.7 (I'm
somewhat outdated because I tend to just get whatever TeXmacs comes with
Ubuntu, and don't update Ubuntu that often, though we're in the process
of going up to 12.04). In 1.0.7.7 it did what I wanted, namely show the
contents of the included file, _preserving_newlines_. But in 1.0.7.10,
the entire file contents appears on one line.
I did some web searches, looked at the TeXmacs change log (though I
didn't see anything about this), did a few searches of the TeXmacs
documentation (e.g. include newline) and just generally messed with it a
bit in TeXmacs, but can't get it to just look the way it used to look.
I'd appreciate any guidance about this issue, and in general about how
to deal with this sort of thing in TeXmacs. I've been really impressed
at the improvements in stability and UI of TeXmacs, and in the last few
years have been recommending it much more widely; I use almost entirely
TeXmacs and (for close collaboration) GoogleDocs now. But I must say the
one thing that is still unpleasant about using TeXmacs is the fact that
a new sub-sub-sub version number will cause a document to change
appearance, so I have to go through an entire 150 page book and look for
places where the formatting has been messed up.
If this was a bug in 1.0.7.10 that was fixed before 1.0.7.15, I'll be
happy to update to a newer version, with apologies for an unnecessary
complaint.
Thanks,
Dave Wonnacott
