Dear Giovanni,

many thanks for your kind reply and hellp. Yes, please find enclosed the .bib file that I created. It is impossible to integrate it when I select on the menu File-->Import-->BibTex

Best,

Nefton

Dear Nefton,

the attachment you sent is an empty file. If you want, you might send it again to me alone (not to the whole mailing list), then I will answer you again through the mailing list. Said this, quoting from your message

I think that the book on TeXmacs, the Jolly Writer, which you can find at https://www.scypress.com/The-Jolly-Writer.pdf, explains (in its section 6.5) how to use the bibliography database better than the manual. In particular one imports a BibTeX database through the database tool, and not from the File menu; one activates the database tool from the Tool menu (Tools -> Database tool). Could you check the book and see if it makes more sense for you than the manual?

On the other hand, it is also possible, and perhaps easier, to compile a bibliography without using the Database tool. You have to, from the menu, Insert -> Automatic -> Bibliography, then fill in the name of the bibliography file in the field that appears in the ribbon (it is easiest to place the bibliography file in the same directory as the TeXmacs file); you have also to update the bibliography information inside the document (I expect Document -> Update -> Bibliography to be enough, I used Update -> All in the test I did for writing this). The advantage of using the internal database is that you can search the entries from within TeXmacs (also explained in the Jolly Writer).

Dear all,

please could you send me clear instructions how to create a file bibliography and how to integrate the bibliography. I tryed to apply the manual quite unsuccesfully.

Hi Nefton,

it would be much easier if you would write step by step what you did, maybe there are ambiguities in the manual that I did not detect and if you write what you did it makes it possible to spot what needs to be changed.

More over I'm not able to count the formulas relatively to each section. For instance I want a numeration like (9.13) instead of (350).

That, on the opposite, I can tell you now: once that the cursor is in a display formula, you can right-click, and in the menu that opens select Preferences -> Prefix by section number; you can access the same menu, again when the cursor is in a display formula: on the lower part of the menu bar you will see the symbol of a wrench key and you need to press that.

Pls. ask if you need more information.

Giovanni

Please hellp me.

            nested trees, I just meant trees inside trees. That is
            already implemented in trees.

To make them horizontal, maybe a macro like <\rotate | 90 | <\tree | <\rotate | -90 | <arg>> | … |  <\rotate | -90 | <arg>> >

If you do it manually it works (clumsily) but it is not easy to access the elements of the tree after building it.

yes, \tree corresponds to [mathmode]insert->tree and works very fine for « vertical » trees

but 99% of probabitliy papers (at least in high schools) and 99% of screenshot on google image with keywords « probabillity trees »  have horizontal trees, not vertical one

i have no idea if it would be difficult for the developer team to implement it ; or maybe it is in project

also, Julien, you say « nested trees » 

do you mind nested trees exist in TeXmacs or do you suggest they would be welcome ?

In mode math, \tree works fine. Nested trees if you need more than a root and one generation of children.

One would need some kind of matrix transposition to make it horizontal.

How do you construct the vertical tree in TeXmacs? With the current TeXmacs, I would construct either tree with a drawing.

hello Giovanni

from TeXmacs (vertical) : <GraphiqueCollé-1.png>

preferred (horizontal) : <GraphiqueCollé-2.png>

when you type "tree probability » on internet you only get horizontal trees…
