Screencast of new math macro implementation
Hi! I work on a better implementation of math macros for some time now. Accidently I was playing around with some screencast tools and made a demonstration of the current state of the system: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=68Gys4rp3u4 Make the video fullscreen to see what's going on. Mainly it shows the design choice how math macros look to the user, like the possibility to fold/unfold, add and removing parameters greedily and non- greedily, and the flexibility coming from position awareness of the macro definitions, including support for master documents. Stefan P.S.: No, there is no audio, it's a silent movie :) PGP.sig Description: Signierter Teil der Nachricht

That's a bit complicated at first glance but it sure looks *impressive*. Abdel.

That's a bit complicated at first glance but it sure looks *impressive*. What exactly is complicated? One missing bit still is the macro creation, some menu command or toolbar button. This \newcommand...+C-m is non-intuitive. In the same way some nice icon in a toolbar could make modification of macros easier. The add/remove param commands are too deep in the menu. But that was not my focus. Making them easier accessible is trivial. Stefan PGP.sig Description: Signierter Teil der Nachricht

But wow, it looks amazing. I hereby volunteer to help test it. I'd love to be able to use this in my own work. (I was the one who filed the child docs bug.)
