Hi Benno,

It was a general congratulation message, but I am indeed happy with 
--bookstyle; I will use Alt+Insert; more colors is quite a bonus.

I had also missed ^T then |<cmd> from an earlier release, for which I have 
a remark: when doing this while no text is selected, I would expect the 
result to be inserted in the file, not to replace the whole file (which 
seems crazy to me). I would use it for instance to check the results of 
numerical computations from within a TeX file, by copy-pasting the TeX 
code and calling a homegrown script.

Ah yes, I will use that.


Thanks,
