ok understood

i have looked now for a  Guile manual

- why does TeXmacs not appear at the bottom of this page then ?

https://www.gnu.org/software/guile/

That is an old story, their main argument is that TeXmacs do not support the last versions of Guile. This will change soon, I hope. But you are right and I tried some times to had TeXmacs included in the list.

- why is there not a TeXmacs version of guile manual here :

https://www.gnu.org/software/guile/manual/

Because the official format of GNU documentation is texinfo format. We should implement a converter for that, but this is not yet done.

i precize that for me this page is not comprehensible, too technical

- here there are plenty of links, but half of them gives a 404 error :

https://schemers.org/Documents/#intro-texts

Indeed.

- this one i am reading it, seems clear :

https://dept-info.labri.u-bordeaux.fr/~cori/Bouquins/scheme.ps

Seems good. It would be nice if at some point you can write somewhere a list of the references you used, this would help other beginners.

I think TeXmacs should have a blog, a place where to put some material produced by users, like the description of some experiences, some hints, recipes, etc.. Selected maybe out of the forum or the mailing list. This would help us to gather all this disparate information in a single place.

Alvaro, Miguel: are you still around? do you have suggestions on which software to use to set up and maintain a (static) blog easily?

Hi Vincent,

I suppose "let" takes two arguments, the variable name and the assigned value. Because of the [], you are attempting to use let with only 1 argument, hence the error message.

hi

i am trying to learn how to compute several unicode symbols with scheme inside texmacs

i dnt understand the following result, where a same programm in DrRacket and in TeXmacs does not give the same result :

<tm_aj.jpg>

i found an ol mail where Miguel used to explain me that TeXmacs' version of scheme (Guile ?) was not DrRacket's one

my question is therefore : where can i learn TeXmacs' scheme ? on an random googleisyourfriend-internetpage about scheme, how can i guess that they are speaking about one or the other version of Scheme ? And if i am looking for help on the forum of "developpez.net" i get help on not TeXmacs' Scheme...
