Hi,

If you go to user-preferences → Keyboard, and change "Space bar in text mode" to "Glue multiple spaces" or "Allow multiple spaces", you can type multiple spaces outside of code environments.

"Glue multiple spaces" will be especially useful for proportional fonts because it allows you to set the exact width of the space in terms of ems or millimeters. For monospace fonts, "Allow multiple spaces" is probably what you want.

Hi David,

I Absolutely *love* Emacs, I spend a large part of my days using it.

But in this case I am writing some kind of memorandum for financial forumulas
I am using in a project. I need to put there well written formula and maybe some
drawings. In these cases TeXmacs is more appropriate then Emacs.

I attach, an excerpt of the file I am writing, written in the only way I was able
to find to do what I want.

If you know how to do better, let me know, absolutely !

But it must be a practical way, these are working notes, they must flow
on the screen as straight as thought itself;)


bye

Hi Nicola ---

I can't speak directly to the TeXmacs question, but am wondering if you've tried "picture mode" in emacs? I don't usually try to get strong/boldface in emacs, though, so I'm not sure if that part of your need would be met.

Hi,

I would like to know if it possible to have texmacs to behave as an oldstyle
typerwriter as much as possible.

In some sense I would like to have it behaving as big "code" environment
but with the possiblity to write some formulas here and there.

Untill now what i did it :
-] Document -> Paragraph -> Interparagraph Space -> 0
-] Set font to MonospaceXXX

The problems I see till now are:
1] Some Monospace fonts don't have the "strong"
2] When i try to align things (i want to do it manually, that is why i use monospace)
there is some automatic space selector that stops me. For example
----------
water
 falls
  in
   lines    # I can't align this correctly without a "code" environment.
----------

Do you have any suggestion ?
