Yes I know. But I do not understand how to manipulates with that mechanism parts of the formulas which are strings "a+b". That is why I was thinking a full parsing would be useful. > >> Thanks, I will give a look to the parsing support.

Do you have already some ideas/references? Best Max _______________________________________________ Texmacs-dev mailing list Texmacs-dev@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/texmacs-dev
