mailing-list for TeXmacs Users

Yes, I meant edit the source by hand, or extract some part of it.

Looks as arXiv want to have the source so that users would be able to modify 
the document
or extract part of it into their own documents.  It is likely that the source 
is not
accepted as valid because it is generated by a gui that makes reuse 
difficult.  I could be
wrong but I can check exactly the problem.

Giovanni, does arXiv accept pdfs on their own, or do they always demand the 
source that
was used to generate the pdf.
