> [1] http://www.mail-archive.com/lyx-us...@lists.lyx.org/msg77889.html thanks, by reading this I see that the maxima buffer must be seamlessly integrated with document, in order to not confuse people. But, OTOH, to use any algebra system in efficient way, the user has to know which one he is using. I am not going to write an interface that translates every kind of math+lyx input into every kind of octave/maxima/maple/mathematica input. There's too many different specific things, and I never used maple/octave/mathematica, I don't know their formatting. The simplest way for me is to allow a maxima session in lyx, and add communication between both. Copying/using/referencing equations in both directions between maxima buffer <-> document. Entering equations in document and pasting them to maxima buffer (for later, more complex use) for people familiar with entering equation using lyx/latex commands and the opposite for people who wish to enter them using maxima input format. -- Janek Kozicki http://janek.kozicki.pl/ |
