I have noticed that TeXmacs do not handle properly generated content in 
multicolumn documents. More generally, generated content is actually 
generated only if it is located at the root of the document. In particular, 
multicolumn text is done by using a <with|nr columns|2|...>, so 
bibliographies, table of contents, etc. are not generated if they are placed 
in a multicolumned region of the document.

I also noticed that when you regenerate the automatic text, the cursor gets 
moved to the end of the last generated element. I understand that can be 
considered a feature when you regenerate a specific part of the document, you 
are moved to the part that have just changed. But I find it inappropriate 
when, like me, you are just lazy and always do "Update All".

So, surprise, I made a patch that fixes it all.

Enjoy.
