Re: [Texmacs-dev] Special characters in regular text?

[Norbert Nemec]

Thanks. With that version it is better, but not yet perfect:

* The display of the file below is correct. I just wonder why the
backslash is displayed as red "<backslash>" instead of just showing the
character regularly.

* The problem of the double quote in the latex export is solved.

* The second row:

    x#x$x%x^x&x_x{x}x~x\<backslash\>x

is exported just as before:

    x \# x \$ x \% x\^{ }x\&x \_ x \{ x \} x\~{ }x{\backslash}x

where it should be

    x{\#}x{\$}x{\%}x\^{ }x{\&}x{\_}x{\{}x{\}}x\~{ }x$\backslash$x

Greetings,
Norbert
