Hi Amir,
to me, it is unclear how much you can gain by such tweaking, given that page limits typically come with rules to avoid working around them (such as imposed margin size and font size). I am not fully convinced that this feature would be worth the implementation effort.
Best wishes,
Basile

Hello,

The idea is that if the TeXmacs document takes k pages, then exporting to LaTeX will generate a document that also takes k pages.

TeXmacs would accomplish this by *automatically* experimenting with the LaTeX output and tweaking some spacing in the TeXmacs document to get the desired output. This (automated) process might take a few tries but should be faster than doing the same thing manually.

All tweaks would be shown to the user to ensure that nothing bad was done.

Such a feature would make it easier to submit papers to conferences/journals with page limits.

What do you think?

Amir
