I have started working on a TeXmacs interface for
GNU Octave.

Octave's CLI is pretty flexible and I have
it working inside TeXmacs by sending a few
appropriate controls to TeXmacs prior to invoking
octave with a specially hacked PS1 prompt string.

It works well.

Anyhow, rather than patching GNU Octave to output
TeXmacs controls, I'll be implementing special
routines in Octave code to generate TeXmacs output.

This means that to get a "pretty printed" matrix,
you'll have to do something like:

octave> texprint(M);

"Raw" matrix display works as normal.

My reason for doing it this way is two-fold:

First, its easier than trying to get up to speed
on Octave's large C++ code base just to replace the
console code.

But, moreover, Octave will NEED functions to
communicate with TeXmacs, execute Scheme expressions,
etc. This is the core functionality that I'll be
coding.

Down the road, in phase two I'll pay more mind to
having Octave pretty print by default.
