Going back to your attempt: I think that the predicate in-math? cannot be
used to check whether the typesetter is working on an equation or not. No
information is passed to Scheme about the internal status of the typesetter
when you call a \extern markup. You can pass informations only via
parameters. So your unitSpacer has no way to know if the evaluation is inside
some math markup or not.
The predicates in-math?, etc.. are just to check if the editor is in text,
prog, or math mode, for example. Thats is completely separate on the status
of the typesetter.

I post this here because I think that while being about Scheme in TeXmacs is
still of general interest. I have found a way of circumventing both issues
(which may be ok, in case I will ask about this in another post) but I am
curious to know the reason of the behaviours I observe.
First issue.
I have defined a Scheme function with the following:
(tm-define (unitSpacer) ; default, will be used in regular text
`(hspace "0.5spc"))
(tm-define (unitSpacer)
(:require (in-math?))
"*")
As far as I understand, the first definition is the default and it is
overridden by the second when I am in math.
In my tests, this happens only in open documents. At the first opening of a
document, only the first definition is used. Does anyone have a hint on what
is happening? Developers ;-) ?

Second issue.
In math mode, the program I wrote outputs groups of letters, each wrapped in a
<with|math-font-shape|right primitive, and interleaved with the character "*".
Example of output, copied from the terminal using (display ...)
<tree 2 <with|math-font-shape|right|kg>*<with|math-font-shape|right|m>>
I call this from a TeXmacs macro in math mode and I get a typeset output
where the asterisk appears as such (while I would like it to be interpreted
as an implicit multiplication)
If I copy the output from the terminal, strip the outermost <tree primitive
and place it inside a math primitive (opening the .tm file with a text editor)
the asterisks do not appear (as I thought they shouldn't).
Again, suggestions?
