I think you should find out how to install Lyx. It's good to know what the 
competence is doing and I think that Lyx is the best competitor of TeXmacs. 
Maybe there are two or three interesting ideas that can be adapted to 
TeXmacs.

The truth is I didn't notice about 'citep' and 'citet'. Could be difficult to 
include them in TeXmacs to provide different ways to show bibliographic 
references?

I don't want to export to LaTeX to render, in the way I want, the 
bibliographic references. In that case, I would use directly Lyx.

I've been reading some chapters of the 'Reference Guide' and 
'std-automatic.ts'. After some trials and mistakes I put two macros in the 
beginning of my document:

(assign "render-cite" (macro "ref" (arg "ref")))
(assign "render-bibitem" "")

I know they are not very impressive but I am quite proud of them because they 
are my first macros :)  The second macro works great removing the reference 
in bold between [] from the item in 'Bibliography'.

The problem is the first one. Using this macro I get things like 'Dunne and 
Kluter(2001)' or 'Evrendilek et al.(2004)Evrendilek, Zhang, and Ritcher' 
where I put a 'cite'. I would be happy if I could add an space between the 
authors and the year ('Dunne and Kutler (2001)' and if I could remove the 
list of authors after the year in the second example. Any hint of how can I 
do it?

Thank you for your help. Best regards,

Javier
