mailing-list for TeXmacs Users

["David E. Miller" <address@hidden>]

Hi Javier,

I found your issue interesting because I have just recently completed an 
article (using TeXmacs of course) about the issues involved with 
including images in TeXmacs documents by insertion or linking. I am not 
sure what the best way would be to ensure this is disseminated to the 
TeXmacs users and developers that are interested in my experience and 
recommendations regarding this issue.

So, for any TeXmacs users or developers of the mailing lists that are 
receiving this reply message, if you wish me to send you a PDF copy of 
this article about the issues of image TeXmacs inclusion, please reply 
to me from this email message. The article discusses the issues involved 
with image inclusion as well as a recommended workflow for this purpose 
as well as some useful background information. It applies to almost all 
of the main images formats that may be of interest.

Best wishes.

David E. Miller
