Dear Robert,

TeXmacs can now embed Maxima plots. You can try the latest version using an AppImage

https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/slowphil:/texmacs-devel/AppImage/

Just append tm_ to the Maxima plotting commands. e.g. tm_plot2d(sin(x), [x,-2,2]).

Best regards,
Marduk

Hi everybody,

I am interested in using TeXmacs to compose documents which combine
text, math formulas, inputs and outputs from Maxima, and plots
generated by Maxima. I have looked through the information on the
TeXmacs web site and various other sources and although I have learned
a lot but I still have a couple of questions.

First question -- is there a way to arrange for plots generated by
Maxima to be embedded directly into a TeXmacs document? Maxima plots
are displayed in a separate window, from what I can tell. I could use
Maxima to generate a file (png) containing the plot, and then embed
that image into the document, but I was hoping that could be done
automatically.

Second question -- I would like to generate HTML output which makes
use of MathJax for typesetting math. Is there a way to do that?

Kind of a follow-on to the second question -- what is the general
approach that one would take to generate Textile + MathJax output? I
am hoping to achieve something like the output shown by this web page:

Thanks very much for any light you can shed on these questions, and
all the best.

Robert Dodier
