The dynamic part of the interface however does not need to depend on LaTeX. There are still some messy details in the dynamic conversion of the generated LaTeX that make the scheme format look more desirable. For example, the scheme format allows much better treatment of long line output formatting. But in principle there is no reason to use only one input format in a FriCAS session in TeXmacs. This would be almost transparent to the user. Another advantage of TeXmacs is that once the .htex files are in TeXmacs format it is possible to export it to HTML and PDF. But of course TeXmacs does have some limitations and it's own peculiarities/bugs so all of this should be to piloted before we commit to a larger effort. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "FriCAS - computer algebra system" group.
