Hi Alvaro,

  It is nice indeed, especially in education. One can already do overlays ("Ink here"), but at the moment we cannot move things relatively to typesetted text like they do. I use sometimes in my notes.

The overlay is itself a tag, so move around with the text and one could maybe simulate something like what you see there.

My problem with overlays in TeXmacs is that it is a bit tricky to move in and out, maybe the UI can be improved but I do not have concrete suggestions.

Hi,

Annotating equations with situated comments makes text less burdensome, equations more self-contained and, at least in an education context, the content more engaging, in my opinion. Somebody published a proof of concept with tikz + latex (code forthcoming...),

TeXmacs already makes it much more efficient to add under/overbraces (that are actually readable as you type, unlike in LaTeX); I wonder if everything needed to support this kind of annotations (with colored boxes) is available at the Scheme level or would there be a need for C++ changes?

Best,

Álvaro.
