mailing-list for TeXmacs Users

[Frank <address@hidden>]

Hi Joris,

It seems to me that there are some issues about the default LaTeX template 
exported from TeXmacs (document style is amsart).

I export the current article that I am writing, and there are issues in the 
preamble. I have removed all the contents, but the compilation is still 
failing. I attach the exported LaTeX file.

I suppose that it might be better to fix such kind of issues instead of 
letting users modify the exported LaTeX files. I cannot remember whether I 
have reported this bug before - seemingly I might have done it.

Best wishes,
Frank
