Hi Everyone,

Inside a table I am trying to use arithmetic expressions to specify
cell horizontal size. Let say, I want to set cell width to
    <minus|1par|4fn>

In fact, I can externally edit *.tm file with a text editor and
specify something like
    <cwith|1|1|1|1|cell width|<minus|1par|4fn>>
and it works!

However, I found it very clumsy to be forced to use an external editor
to do such a basic thing.

Is it possible to enter arithmetic expressions while specifying
length directly into TeXmacs??

Any suggestions?

P.S. BTW, I tried to enter <minus|1par|4fn> at the "Cell width" prompt
(after M-t h w) but all occurencies of <|> charactes got backslash
escaped and, thus, lost their special meaning.
