Hello,

Which is the optimal way to change from a equation or equationarray to 
a math environment (inline)?

Ideally, I would like to be able to do it through a C-Tab (structured 
circulate). But when I try that,

1) the new math environment can't be put in the preceding line; it 
wants a line of its own.

2) the spacing is wrong in the case of eqnarray

An acceptable solution for (2) would be to kill the table environment 
with A-Backspace. The problem is that this seems only to keep the 
innermost environment content, i.e., the cell. This means that I lose 
part of my equation.

If anyone can propose something better (other than cutting'npasting) I 
would be very grateful,



'Alvaro.


PS: A TIP (TeXmacs Improvement Proposal) follows

In general, it would be very useful if TeXmacs had a knowledge (via a 
dedicated file) of 'Casting methods'.

Thus in the present case, if I select a eqnarray and then Insert->math, 
texmacs should know the 'most sensible' operation set to perform in 
eqnarray to make it math.

In general this would make much easier to change one's mind about the 
type of a certain structure.

If a list of paragraphs is selected and insert->subsection is 
requested, each paragraph is turned into a subsection title.

And so on, obviously these examples are only dummy examples, and the 
list of actions to undertake should be customizable in a scheme file.
