Hi,

if I understood the problems that came up

but when I try to enter the arg macro with \arg I
just get <assign|eqref|<macro|lab|Equation <reference|args>

Try to insert the argument that you defined: \lab in this case. I do not know what TeXmacs tries to do when you insert \arg, as I do not know the macro system yet (what I am writing here is almost my whole knowledge!), but maybe \arg is a TeXmacs "defined keyword" (do not know the proper term too) and will cause TeXmacs to behave in a way different from the one you want.

If I use 'Edit Preample' I get something like
<inactive|<assign|eqref|lab|Equation <inactive|<reference|>>>> and I
have the same proble in inserting the arg macro.
When you see the "inactive" keyword try to hit "return" a second time, it should disappear. For the argument, see above :-)

Pls. let me know if this works, I think that for this case I have sufficient command of the system to get it working. Writing the macro directly within TeXmacs is nice b/c of the syntax highlighting.

Hi using a normal text editor to enter the macro works for me. If
however if I use texmacs and in normal mode tries to enter the macro as
follows:
\assign --> <assign||>
eqref --> <assign|eqref|>
\macro --> <assign|eqref|<macro|>
lab|Equation \reference -> <assign|eqref|<macro|lab|Equation
<reference|>
so far so good, but when I try to enter the arg macro with \arg I
just get <assign|eqref|<macro|lab|Equation <reference|args> instead of
  <assign|eqref|<macro|lab|Equation <reference|<arg|>>>> and I'm stuck.
If I use 'Edit Preample' I get something like
<inactive|<assign|eqref|lab|Equation <inactive|<reference|>>>> and I

It seems that the source view (edit preample) is not working correctly
(unless I'm still missing something). I'm using TexMacs version 1.99.
Anyhow, your solution of using a editor like kate to type in the macro
works for me.

Thanks for your help

As well the following should be a valid style file:

<TeXmacs|1.99.8>

<style|<tuple|source|german>>

<\body>
   <assign|eqref|<macro|lab|Equation <reference|<arg|lab>>>>

It is possible to do it with a style file, to load, or it is also
possible within the same document, to test things
quickly:         from the menu: tools, macros, edit preamble (not
edit macros, I am not able to get that to work as well!), and then
again deselect edit preamble to go back to normal editing.

I used the following guide for writing macros:
http://www.texmacs.org/Tutorial/Editing/Chapter4.html
and some help from this too:
https://www.mindomo.com/de/mindmap/texmacs-b207992c90c046bdbe4053cb
df88b5d5
and I have to fight a bit too because I can't get everything
straight at the first attempt; but eventually it works :-)
The definition with the style file has worked more promptly than
the definition using the "edit preamble" menu item.

Thanks all for your solutions, I will try them out. To be honest
I have
never defined my own macros so I have first to learn how to
define
them. Am I correct that I first have to define my own style file
to
define a macro? I saw in tools a macro editor but I could not use
it to
define the eqref macro.

Thanks in advance

As for the first question. I did a small research, relevant
macros to
the handling of lists and enumerations are contained in

TeXmacs/packages/standard/std-list.ts

in particular a new counter is defined via

<new-counter|item>

which in turn defines a series of macros to handle the counter
like
<reset-item>
<the-item>
<inc-item>

if you want to reset the counter at an arbitrary number, you
have to
add this at the beginning of the new environment

<assign|<counter-item>|10>

for example. Note that this has to really be at the beginning
of the
enumerate environment, in particular before the first item.

Note also that <counter-item> is a macro which returns the name
of
the variable which contains the counter.

I know one way of getting what you want for the second
question,
but it is not completely automatic.

You can define and load the following macro:


<assign|eqref|<macro|lab|Equation <reference|<arg|lab>>>>

(and similar ones for theorems, propositions and so on)

and use it in place of the \reference macro. The advantange
of
using \eqref with respect to typing everytime "Equation
\reference"
is that it will ensure consistent formatting.

I suspect there is a way to write a macro to automatically
recognize the type of reference and format it according to
type,
like the cleveref package for LaTeX, but - at least for now -
it is
too complicated for me to figure it out.

Hello,
I have two questions concerning TexMacs. The first is
about the
numbering of enumeration list, when I insert a enumeration
it
always
start at 1, a, i etc. Is it possible to specify the start
numbering at
a different number.
The second is of the numbering of references. When you
insert a
label for a theorem, proposition etc  or a displayed
formula and
reference to it the references used the same x.y format for
both.
So
sometimes you have to confusion that for example a
reference
displays
the same number (for example 10.14) but in one case it
refers to
a
theorem and in the other case it references to a displayed
formula. You
can not seen the difference. Is it somehow possible to
display
for the
reference to display 'eq 10.14' if it refers to a displayed
formula and
 'theorem 10.14' if it refers to a theorem (and likewise
for
lemmas,
propositions ...).
I searched in the manual but could not found a way to
do this
two things.

Thanks in advance for a possible answer and also for a
excellent
math
editor.
