mailing-list for TeXmacs Users

[Frank <address@hidden>]

Dear all,

Maybe I was not completely clear. What I imagined is that, we also directly 
send the TeXmacs format. I wanted to say that we have two output streams into 
two rooms, say #chat and #chat-tm, where in #chat, the output is verbatim, 
with an ID to point out the corresponding #chat-tm message which is the tm 
code. Therefore those who don't install TeXmacs join the room #chat to see 
the verbatim, which is still somehow readable, due to Unicode, such as:

Let 𝔛 be ... and let C∈𝒞 be an element...

Maybe we can improve verbatim a bit: Unicode support simple sub/superscripts 
such as X₀,Y₁,U²,V³.

Best wishes,
Frank
