[Texmacs-dev] Strange behaviour of converters (related to LaTeX macros problem)

[Gubinelli Massimiliano]

Hi Joris,
 I've digged a bit further into Peter's problem with exporting macros to LaTeX. 
I found the following strange behaviour by first trying to export to scheme 
(OK) and the trying to export to LaTeX (the document is corrupted before 
arriving to the main texmacs->latex routine). To obtain it I've just 
uncommented some tracing statements in the scheme code. You can see that the 
TeXMacs tree is OK in the scheme conversion 

 The ket <ket|\<psi\>> will not export to tex.

but is corrupted in the LaTeX one

The ket <error|compound ket> will not export to tex.
