Hi, I'm a long time fan of Picolisp but never went through the whole docs, and never found a practical use for it, until today! Well, I'm not using the real Picolisp but EmuLisp but I asked Jon and in fact his Emulisp acts as the real Picolisp regarding my problem.
As you can see here: http://profgra.org/lycee/mathjax.html I'm trying to make my students write LaTeX or LISP to typeset formulas. I need to output a transient with a single backslash. The problem is that if I write my transient like this: "a backslash:\\", it may contain a backslash internally, but is printed/returned so to be read again (my guess). I make my system work with an ugly «text = text.replace("\\\\", "\\");», but I'd be curious to know the solution to my problem.
