I agree! In fact, learning sage-mode has been the reason for me to start learning emacs.
The problem is that I've never used emacs and I don't really have so much time to spend on setting it up, and moreover, I couldn't find so many information about sage-mode. Apart from this wiki page: http://wiki.sagemath.org/sage-mode For example, setting up my .emacs file didn't work so well :P I wonder whether some deeper installation and usage instructions are available! I couldn't find anything else. Am I supposed to? I think that I should, since this looks very promising to me (will I be able to look at typeset output as well?) Anyway, if that's so useful (as I hope) it looks reasonable to me to make this more accessible to other people, or at least more advertised! :) Thanks and regards Maurizio On 30 Ago, 12:32, Pierre <pierre.guil...@gmail.com> wrote: > Maurizio, you should try emacs with sage-mode.
