  <tmdoc-title|Compatibility with other formats>

  <TeXmacs> documents can be saved without loss of information in three
  formats: the native <TeXmacs> format (file extension <verbatim|.tm>),
  <name|Xml> (<verbatim|.tmml>) and as a <name|Scheme> expression
  (<verbatim|.stm>). <TeXmacs> documents can be converted in a <em|wysiwyg>
  (what-you-see-is-what-you-get) way to either <name|Postscript> or
  <name|Pdf>, which are used as the primary formats for <hlink|printing
  documents|../start/man-print.en.tm>. Similarly, the active selection in
  <TeXmacs> can be <hlink|graphically exported to many vector or raster image
  formats|man-graphics-export.en.tm> either as files or through copy-paste,
  which allows <hlink|using <TeXmacs> as a <em|wysiwyg> equation
  editor|man-inkscape-equ.en.tm> (with re-edition presently possible from
  Inkscape only). <TeXmacs> finally provides converters for <LaTeX>,
  <name|Html> and <name|MathML>.

  <TeXmacs> documents can be converted to other formats using the different
  items in the <menu|File|Export> menu. Conversely, the <menu|File|Import>
  menu contains all formats which can be imported into <TeXmacs>. Besides
  exporting or importing entire documents, it is also possible to copy and
  paste document fragments using <menu|Edit|Copy to> and <menu|Edit|Paste
  from>. The default formats for copy and pasting can be specified in
  <menu|Tools|Selections|Export> and <menu|Tools|Selections|Import>.

  <tmdoc-title|Export or Copy selection to graphics>

  <TeXmacs> (version <math|\<geqslant\>> 1.0.7.16) can export the active
  selection to many graphical formats, either as files
  (<menu|File|Export|Export selection as image>) or through the system
  clipboard (<menu|Edit|Copy to...|Image>), for pasting into other
  applications.

  <paragraph|Specifying graphics format> \ 

  In case of file export, the desired graphical format is determined by the
  file extension which you must explicitly provide (for instance: pdf, eps,
  jpg...)

  For the clipboard mechanism, you need to set in advance the desired format
  in <menu|Edit|Preferences|Converters|TeXmacs -\<gtr\> image|Format>.
  Presently this menu offers the choice between <acronym|png>, <acronym|eps>
  and <acronym|svg> (default setting) formats.

  The exported graphics has a size double of <TeXmacs>'s nominal printed
  output and for raster formats, it has a 300 dpi resolution.

  <paragraph|Required external converters><label|external converters>

  In order to produce the various graphics formats <TeXmacs> relies on
  external converters:\ 

  <\itemize-dot>
    <item><name|Ghostscript>, needed for <acronym|ps>, <acronym|eps> and
    <acronym|pdf>,

    <item><name|pdf2svg>, needed for <acronym|svg> output (<hlink|to work
    with <name|Inkscape>|man-inkscape-equ.en.tm>, for instance),

    <item><name|ImageMagick>, needed for raster formats
    (<acronym|png><name|>, <acronym|jpg>, ...).
  </itemize-dot>

  All these converters need to be in the system PATH. If they are not found,
  <TeXmacs> displays an error message in its status bar when attempting a
  conversion. On <name|Linux> these external tools were probably installed as
  <TeXmacs> dependencies, or they are easy to install from your
  distribution's package manager. On <name|MacOS>, <name|pdf2svg> and
  <name|ImageMagick> (as well as <name|Inkscape>) are available from
  <name|MacPorts>. On <name|Windows>, \ <name|Ghostscript> and <name|pdf2svg>
  are bundled with <TeXmacs> while <name|ImageMagick> should be installed
  separately (the default install automatically adds it to the PATH).

  <tmdoc-title|Using <TeXmacs> as an equation editor for Inkscape>

  <name|Inkscape> (www.inkscape.org) is an advanced open source vector
  graphics editor, using the <name|W3C> standard Scalable Vector Graphics
  (<name|Svg>) file format.

  <hlink|If the appropriate converters are
  installed|man-graphics-export.en.tm#external converters>, <TeXmacs> can
  generate an <name|Svg> image of the selection that can be pasted directly
  into Inkscape (version <math|\<geqslant\>> 0.47). This allows to easily
  include fragments of <TeXmacs> documents (notably equations) into Inkscape
  documents.

  Moreover, <name|Svg> graphics produced by <TeXmacs> incorporate their
  source code to enable re-edition by <TeXmacs>.

  <paragraph|Modifying an equation from <name|Inkscape>>

  When needed, within <name|Inkscape> select the equation you want to revise
  and activate <menu|TeXmacs equation> (provided by <TeXmacs>, see below)
  from the <menu|extension> menu. This will launch a new <TeXmacs> instance
  with the equation you want to revise (or a dummy equation if nothing was
  selected). Above the equation (in the user toolbar) a button
  <key|Done><kbd|> completes the revision and a button <key|Cancel> abandons
  it.

  <paragraph|Installation of the Inkscape extension>

  The first time you start <TeXmacs> it looks for your <name|Inkscape> user
  directory, and if it exists, it automatically installs in it the
  <name|Inkscape> extension required to revise equations; The extension
  should then appear in <name|Inkscape>'s <menu|extension> menu the next time
  you start <name|Inkscape>.\ 

  If the <name|Inkscape> extension is not yet installed (for example because
  you installed <name|Inkscape> after <TeXmacs> or because you installed
  <TeXmacs> before the plugin existed) you can trigger installation of the
  extension by runing <verbatim|texmacs --setup> from the command line
  (<verbatim|texmacs.exe --setup> in <name|Windows>) or by pressing <key|Alt>
  while starting <TeXmacs> on <name|MacOS>.

  <\folded-documentation>
    Show personalized manual install instructions
  <|folded-documentation>
    Copy all files contained in <verbatim|<extern|(lambda (x) (url-concretize
    (url-append (system-\<gtr\>url "$TEXMACS_PATH") (string-\<gtr\>url
    "misc/inkscape_extension"))))|>> to <verbatim|<extern|(lambda (x)
    (url-concretize (url-append (if (or (os-win32?) (os-mingw?))
    (system-\<gtr\>url "$APPDATA") \ (system-\<gtr\>url
    "~/.config"))(string-\<gtr\>url "inkscape/extensions"))))|>>\ 

    If you see <verbatim|<error|insecure script>> instead of file paths, you
    need to change the security preference (in
    <menu|edit|preferences|other|security>) to <verbatim|accept all scripts>
    (at least temporarily) and then refresh the display by closing/opening
    this fold or through the menu <menu|Document|Update|All>.
  </folded-documentation>

  <paragraph|MacOS specifics>

  Presently (2012) the <name|Inkscape> dmg from Inkscape.org lacks a python
  library that the re-edition extension needs. We recommend you get
  <name|Inkscape> from <name|MacPorts> instead (and get <name|pdf2svg> and
  <name|ImageMagick> at the same time).

  <paragraph|Compatibility with Textext <name|Inkscape> extension>

  Equations produced with <TeXmacs> are essentially compatible with those of
  the <name|Textext> extension (re-editable <LaTeX> equations extension
  shipped with <name|Inkscape>): <TeXmacs> can edit <name|Textext> equations,
  and conversely people using <name|Textext<strong|>> can edit your <TeXmacs>
  equations provided they use the style file <verbatim|texmacs_latex.sty> (in
  your user's <name|Iknscape> user directory) containing the texmacs macros
  and necessary includes.

  <paragraph|Present limitations and Known Issues>

  If some characters appear pixelated in <name|Inkscape>, you are maybe
  missing some extra font (download the extra font package from <TeXmacs>
  website), or <TeXmacs> is not configured for "type 1 font" printing
  preference. Note however that some characters (e.g. strechable arrows) are
  inherently bitmaps already in TeXmacs<with|color|orange|>.

  At the moment, <TeXmacs> has small issues with running several instances at
  the same time. For instance you cannot copy-paste between two <TeXmacs>
  instances (say, when you are re-editing an equation from <name|Inkscape>).
  A work-around is to perform an intermediate paste and copy again in a plain
  text editor. However you may have unwanted interactions between different
  instances (see e.g. bug#36785), so that at present we recommend to avoid
  working on an critical document while revising equations in
  <name|Inkscape>.

  If the selection contains a macro call with the macro definition outside of
  the selection, it won't be rendered (<verbatim|<error|compound
  <em|macroname>>>).
