The good thing with texmacs CAS sessions one can do a lot. Before 
jupyter I used a lot texmacs because CAS were very well integrated. 
Unfortunatly they don't integrate so well now, maybe the improvment of 
languages. As a wisiwig texmacs is better adapted for school and college 
than word or open office. The difficulty is to learn it properly which I 
didn't because my memory (RAM lol) is not good !

Any way I will try to progress and do something useful for kids.

have a good day :)

And thank you for sharing at the moment it is very important

Best

Henri
