This document describes the hooks I added to Maxima in September 2003
to aid interfaces to external programs such as TeXmacs.
-- James Amundson
Hooks for prompts
-----------------
*prompt-prefix* : string printed at the beginning of each prompt
*prompt-suffix* : string printed at the end of each prompt
TeXmacs example:
(setf *prompt-prefix* "channel:promptlatex:\\red ")
(setf *prompt-suffix* "\\black")
(The preceding lines contain control characters.)
Hooks for display
-----------------
*general-display-prefix* : string printed before each displayed output label
Exactly what that means my need refinement.
*maxima-prolog* : string printed at the beginning of a Maxima session
*maxima-epilog* : string printed at the end of a Maxima session
TeXmacs example:
(setf *general-display-prefix* "verbatim:")
(setf *maxima-prolog* "verbatim:")
(setf *maxima-epilog* "latex:\\red The end\\black")
(Again, the preceding lines contain control characters.)
Alternate display functions
---------------------------
*alt-display2d* : function to be used to display maxima equations
when display2d is true
*alt-display1d* : function to be used to display maxima equations
when display2d is false
TeXmacs example:
(setf *alt-display2d* 'latex)
The function latex is defined as
(defun latex (x)
(let ((ccol 1))
(mapc #'myprinc
(if (and (listp x) (cdr x) (equal (cadr x) "Is "))
(tex x '("$\\displaystyle ") '("$ ") 'mparen 'mparen)
(tex x '("latex:$\\displaystyle ") '("$
") 'mparen 'mparen)))))
