Hi,
 I’m not sure I understand. 

Until you use ‘verbatim:' I think there is no escape possible. But I’m not 
certain.
One possibility could be to use the 'latex:’ and then inside the latex code 
you can use \verbatim to get in sequences you do not want to encode in latex 
format.

But above all one would like to understand what are your input sequences. 
From  my point of view is not a TeXmacs problem but a problem on how to 
encode your input in such a way that allow “escaping” to control the 
formatting.

I give you an example: what if my plugin produces scheme code? Does the 
sequence 

(insert (with "color" "red" "foobar”))

is a sequence meant to be interpreted by TeXmacs or a sequence to be inserted 
as verbatim? 

I think you have to perform this encoding in the plugin.

But again, i’m not expert in plugin code so maybe I’m wrong. :)
