<tmdoc-title|Other things we are working on>
Even though our main focus is on the stabilization of <TeXmacs> and to make
it more suitable for developers, we intend to continue some time on the
development on new features. A few points currently have our priority:
<\itemize>
<item>Further development of the graphical drawing mode. First, the
upcoming support of <hlink|<name|Cairo>|http://cairographics.org/>,
<hlink|<name|OpenGL>|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenGL>, <abbr|etc.>
should improve the rendering quality. Secondly, we intend to allow the
user to create new macros, either by explicit constructions or
constrained-based constructions. Finally, we would like to incorporate
several features which are typically found in editors of vector graphics,
such as <hlink|<name|Inkscape>|http://www.inkscape.org/>.
<item>Extended features for computer algebra sessions, such as automatic
folding of large expressions, lazy output (with subexpressions which can
be further evaluated by clicking on them), cas-aided writing, etc.
<item>Providing more semantics to mathematical formulas by providing a
simple way to construct parsers and pretty printers and to use them for
establishing a bijection between presentation and content markup for
certain well-defined languages.
<item>Continue the development of remote <TeXmacs> servers for providing
web-based services in combination with <TeXmacs>. These services comprise
chatting (with mathematical formulas) and collaborative authoring.
<item>Development of universal spreadsheet tools, which can be connected
to any external plug-in for doing the computations. In a similar vein,
external plug-ins might be used to draw graphs of functions in the
graphical mode.
