Re: How to simplify formula in place (eg by sympy)

Hi proitheus,

please take a look at the Manual (not Jolly Writer) section with title 
"Plug-ins as scripting languages", where you will find detailed 
instructions on how to simplify formulae (I tried it now expanding (a+b) 
(a-b) +2 inside a display equation using Maxima) and linking together 
executable switches (I did not try it). You get to the Manual sections 
through the Help menu items; in TeXmacs 2.1.4 e.g. Help->Manual->TeXmacs 
as an interface, then section 4 of the document that is opened.

Please ask again if you need more information.

Giovanni
