Re: a "terrible" question

Hi Joris,

It seems to me that there are some issues about the default LaTeX template
exported from TeXmacs (document style is amsart).

I export the current article that I am writing, and there are issues in the
preamble. I have removed all the contents, but the compilation is still
failing. I attach the exported LaTeX file.

I suppose that it might be better to fix such kind of issues instead of
letting users modify the exported LaTeX files. I cannot remember whether I
have reported this bug before - seemingly I might have done it.

Best wishes,
Frank

Dear all,

I do have to say a few things about LaTeX here:

- In my experience, LaTeX is inconsistent with itself. I have experienced
non-trivial changes between LaTeX executions on different machines and
non-trivial changes when adding certain packages such as hyperref.

So: for people who are afraid of our TeXmacs -> LaTeX export,
they also should be afraid of executing LaTeX on different machines or
when making apparently benign changes.

- TeXmacs has the advantage of generating high quality "standard" LaTeX.
Springer actually contacted me once whether they could use one of my
papers
as a demo for "how to write the kind of LaTeX that they wanted to have"
(not realizing that this kind of LaTeX was precisely not hand-written).
So, in a sense, one may have less trouble with documents generated via
TeXmacs,
even though it is always good to double-check (for reasons that were
mentioned).

Best wishes, --Joris

Dear Patrick

I use very often conversion to LaTeX from TeXmacs and what your colleagues
claim does not seems true to me.

The LaTeX code which TeXmacs generates is perfectly normal and with very few
macros and usually compile fines even if you still have to check. There could
be of course problems and in case you find some bug/problem it is important
that you report it in the texmacs-dev mailing list (or here) so that we can
try to fix it.

Since TeXmacs is not based on LaTeX the conversion process is nontrivial but
usually if you do not do crazy stuff in your TeXmacs document everything
should work fine. Again, it could happen that the file does not compile but
it is usually easy to fix.

Anyway here or in the forum you can ask for help in case something is not
working.


Best regards,
Massimiliano Gubinelli

dear colleagues

I do not know TeX (I was lazzy) and I write courses and problems using
TeXmacs.

I will have to submit a paper in LateX and colleagues tell me that TeXmacs's
LateX is bad and has compiling problems.

Do you think I may submit the paper written with TeXmacs and saved in LateX
through TeXmacs ?

thank you for your help

Dear all,

I am happy to announce the release of TeXmacs 1.99.19.

The new release consists mainly of a large number of bug fixes,
including many fixes for sporadic segfaults during LaTeX imports.

The new release also comes with a further enhanced structured
search and replace facility. You may now use wildcards both
during structured search _and_ structured search and replace.
(Example: swap the numerator and denominator of a fraction;
wildcards are inserted using C-1, C-2, ...)
You may also modify some preferences for search & replace.

Best wishes, --Joris
