The way to deal with these situations in TeXmacs is to use a rather general
command, "remove innermost structure". The last level of structure appearing
in
the stack, shown in the lower right corner in the editor, is killed by using
C-Backspace. This is a very unintuitive but perhaps more efficient way than
the
accustomed "toggling" behaviour present in most word processors. Maybe this
point should be stressed further in the documentation.
