[Texmacs-dev] address@hidden: Bug#154150: command line export]

[Ralf Treinen]

Hi,

I received the following feature request, which seems sensible to me.
BTW, did anyone contact the maintainer of the file(1) utility to
add texmacs files? 

-Ralf.

Package: texmacs
Version: 1.0.0.7-2
Severity: wishlist

I would like to be able to type something like:
texmacs -i paper.tm -o paper.ps
and have my texmacs-typed paper ready for printing.

For your information, this is what lyx --help says:

        -e [--export] fmt
                  where fmt is the export format of choice.
        -i [--import] fmt file.xxx
                  where fmt is the import format of choice
                  and file.xxx is the file to be imported.
Check the LyX man page for more details.

That may be useful, for example, for a print filter: it detects a
texmacs file (well, for the moment even 'file' doesn't recognize them),
and converts it to a suitable format.
