I think DOM tree is the right way to make a word processor. One example that sequential array doesn=E2=80=99t do well is wrapping text around a figure, or two column text inside a one column document. There=E2=80=99s more example about other kind of layout. However there=E2=80=99s so many things in Emacs that won=E2=80=99t run on TeXMacs. Maybe we could wait for guile-emacs and then write some wrapper in scheme to run Emacs packages on TeXMacs? --Apple-Mail=_1233B61F-A004-4726-A0C1-0BE263DAC26C Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: Message signed with OpenPGP -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQEzBAEBCAAdFiEEuJGkbeynKj/ysbVCxqEIuLoj4IIFAl/iUhoACgkQxqEIuLoj 4IJYmwf+MOEbECR0I+a20XgnvPtuMzeg6/+CqZQ4/W2NOxOeRAuzEml+m4J0sxd4 DS8BiQgiO6YRW9qUNyeDD4QNldMFT7jzPB64m1GauahNKS3fAHOdH/0rKbMeF/Z5 bAS+GVDpb74eZrQgaT70PdGynV8kbeGoQJa6PHCYySKF1xMXjc/Y2NVuiJfLKHDa NTT00oTpvSayLNlditTP1+N5KaEvP7GS/9d2BZ02gJYX4LAHVmuCzyIOqKqdLvhf MWT1DRg9tB3bsjfMfK5+h60DDVmCgn/3ftHGNxio/YL4JBWNEJNZTRav8ppORVIK W/RIJi03Ad5RUwWB4w6lePBV85+Diw== =B2+7 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Apple-Mail=_1233B61F-A004-4726-A0C1-0BE263DAC26C--
