Gerald, you need to edit latex in a text editor inside Cuis? This is implemented only in SmalltalkEditor, so you could use a normal TextEditor instead? or you need to write latex in Smalltalk code?

I do not edit Latex code in a workspace, I write methods that write latex into a file(stream). Entering a code like this is, well, a bit complicated <tt>generateTextForTransaction: aTransaction "Generate the text for aTransaction." self latexStream newLine; nextPutAll: '\begin{tabular}{ll}'; newLine; nextPutAll: 'Datum:&'. aTransaction entryDate printGermanOn: self latexStream. self latexStream nextPutAll: '\\'; newLine; nextPutAll: 'Betrag:&'. aTransaction amount abs printGermanOn: self latexStream fractionDigits: 2. self latexStream nextPutAll: '\euro\\'; newLine; nextPutAll: 'Text:&'; nextPutAll: (aTransaction text asString replaceAll: $_ with: `Character space`); newLine; nextPutAll: '\end{tabular}' </tt>My first thought was that a preference might be useful, but on second thought a menu option in the Smalltalk editor and an additional preference is more useful. The best solution are two packages, one that adds a registry for text substitutions to various editor classes and another one that adds the Latex stuff. Considering that, we two guys, seem to be the only users of this features, this solution might be overkill. Currently I only had to fiddle with the Euro-Sign, maybe I can get away with this. Again thanks a lot, Gerald <tt></tt> </body> </html>
