AFAIK, conversion happens mainly in the scheme code so you may want to start from there and go to C++ only if you do not understand what is going on. You want to look at TeXmacs/progs/convert and subdirectiories there. I think for starting a macro plan should do. best max > On 27.

And I downloaded texmacs and found it making texting document with math symbols in a fun and easy way. I hope I can participate in the follow up works of the "converters" ideas, and I've cloned and started reading existing codes about improving converter. Basically I guess I would begin with collecting detailed differences of HTML and HTML5 and started what I can improve. > However here are my concerns: first, texmacs seems to be large and I'm not sure to whether I can write a well prepared coding plan since I need to deliver proposal in four days, not to mention that I cannot even propose a PR. I guess the only thing that I can do is to make a rough plan so I want to ask if that's okay; second, I'm pretty familiar with c++ development, but, as for scheme, I need a little bit time to recollect it since I haven't use it for a long time. I also notice these two form the code of converter part, which means I have to use them, but still I need roughly a week to recollect and read the code. > So I'd like to ask you if it is okay to write a proposal as a macro developing plan (of course, following the items designated in proposal writing guidance) without too much technical details. > Hope to collaborate with you soon and wish you all in good health :) > > Best regards, > Xiang > _______________________________________________ > Texmacs-dev mailing list > [email protected] > https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/texmacs-dev _______________________________________________ Texmacs-dev mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/texmacs-dev
