Dear Joris, A few month ago Andrey Grozin expressed doubts about the Mathematica plugin since a lot of things have changed in Mathematica since he wrote the plugin.
Well, I am pleased to say that Andrey's plugin still offers pretty good functionality with recent Mathematica versions (v6 & 7). I haven't tested the latest (v8), but I believe it should also work. One key point is that newer versions do not use Postscript for the graphics output anymore. However they come with a backward compatibility package that allows to revert to the old postscript graphics system (one just needs to evaluate <<Version5/Graphics.m, and it should perhaps be done automatically upon starting the session in Texmacs). There are some issues, though. For instance the one-time script that automatically finds the mathlink libraries and compiles the tm_mathematica.bin is outdated and fails. I've posted a howto in the users list to explain how to compile manually. Rewriting an up-to-date script working for all versions/OSes (and maintaining it) would be a lot of work. Another thing that is annoying is that it is not possible anymore to have a straight single back quote (`) correctly sent to mathematica (This was previously working but changed sometime around the end of 2010 and haven't yet figured how to correct for it). Texmacs default is to convert it to single curly back quote that mathematica doesn't like. If you paste verbatim the straight back quote in your input it looks like nothing at all is sent to Mathematica (you get a "busy..." box together with a new input line with the same input number; see last lines of attached file). I've tried to define kbd-map in init-mathematica.scm, but it does not change the behavior. Final word: my testing was very superficial. People may run into serious problems I have not identified. -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/Dressing-a-list-of-working-plug-ins-and-add-documentation-tp32378617p32408255.html Sent from the Gnu - Texmacs - Dev mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ Texmacs-dev mailing list Texmacs-dev@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/texmacs-dev
