Hi Amir,

This is based on the idea that people wish to use TeXmacs as a LaTeX-emulator.
I am not sure whether this is the most exciting way to use our software.
Maybe people should stop thinking about LaTeX and be open for a different
approach.
Also from a learning point of view.

Best wishes, --Joris
