[Texmacs-dev] Re: trouble with entangling scheme and "texmacs langauge" in styesheets

[Corey Sweeney]

i tried about 30 or 40 combinations and found something really interseting.

<extern|(lambda (x) `(render-file whaaa))|a> will properly display the
table that render-file macro generates with a parameter of the string
"whaaa".  however putting
<assign|wierd|<extern|(lambda (x) `(render-file whaaa))|a>> in a
stylesheet, and then calling
<wierd> in a document, returns <error|compound render-file>.   bizarre
