plug-ins such as <name|Dra<TeX>>, <name|Eukleides>, <name|Feynmf>,

insertion of special graphics inside <TeXmacs> documents.
Some plugins such as <name|Maxima> can even be selected as a <em|scripting
Some plug-ins such as <name|Maxima> can even be selected as a <em|scripting
language> using <menu|Document|Scripts|Maxima>. When doing so, a special
<menu|Maxima> menu will appear, which allows for many useful operations
directly on formulas. For instance, when putting the cursor inside the
formula <math|1+1> and pressing <shortcut|(kbd-return)> or <menu|Evaluate>,
the formula gets evaluated automatically to yield <math|2>.
If a plug-in can be used as a scripting language, then it is possible to
create executable switches with links between them. More precisely,
assuming that you selected a scripting language from
<menu|Document|Scripts>, you may insert a new <em|executable input field>
using <shortcut|(make-calc-input)> or <menu|Insert|Link|Executable input
field>. As before, when pressing <key|return>, the current input is
evaluated and you will see the corresponding output; you may switch back to
the input by pressing <key|return> once more.
Contrary to executable switches, you may attach an identifier to the
executable input field by disactivating the field or by editing the
<samp|Ref> field in the focus bar. Inside other executable input fields,
you may then refer to the value of the field by inserting a <em|field
reference> using <shortcut|(make 'calc-ref)> or <menu|Insert|Link|Field
reference>. As a variant to executable input fields, you may sometimes
prefer to insert plain <em|input fields> using <shortcut|(make-calc-inert)>
or <menu|Insert|Link|Input field>. These fields can only be used as inputs
and pressing <key|return> inside such a field will only recompute those
other fields which depend on it.

The excutable input fields may for instance be nice in pedagogic
documents in which parts of the document may be modified and recomputed
by the reader. For instance, evaluation of the input fragment

Subsessions have a nice rendering on the screen when using the
<tmpackage|varsession> package in <menu|Document|Use package|Program>.
Notice that input/output fields and subsessions are foldable: when clicking
on the prompt with the mouse, you may fold or unfold the entry to hide or
show the output. For laptop presentations, this folding and unfolding
process is done automatically when traversing your presentation. It is also
possible to fold or unfold all fields in a session using
<menu|Session|Session|Fold all fields> and <menu|Session|Session|Unfold all
fields>.
Other useful editing operations are <menu|Session|Session|Clear all
fields>, which is useful for creating a demo session which will be executed
later on, and <menu|Session|Split session>, which can be used for splitting
a session into parts for inclusion into a paper.
<\example>
<label|session-example>A typical <name|Maxima> session is given below. If
<name|Maxima> is present on your system, then you may put your cursor in
one of the inputs, perform some edits, and try to reexecute it.

<key|S-return>. Alternatively, when selecting the multiline

Certain applications allow you to type the mathematical input in a
graphical, two dimensional form. This feature can be used by selecting
<apply|menu|Session|Input mode|Mathematical input>. If this feature is
available, then it is usually also possible to copy and paste output back
into the input. However, it depends on the particular application how well
this works.

Similarly, automatic renumbering is used when inserting new columns or
rows, or when removing existing columns or rows.
<TeXmacs> also allows you to use some of the spreadsheet capacities outside
tables. For instance, assuming that you selected a scripting language from
<menu|Document|Scripts>, you may insert a new <em|executable input field>
using <shortcut|(make-calc-input)> or <menu|Insert|Link|Executable input
field>. The behaviour is similar to the one of <hlink|executable
switches|man-scripting-language.en.tm>: when pressing <key|return>, the
current input is evaluated and you will see the corresponding output; you
may switch back to the input by pressing <key|return> once more. In
particular, the input does not need to be preceded by <samp|=> (as in the
case of spreadsheet cells).
Contrary to executable switches, you may attach an identifier to the
executable input field by disactivating the field or by editing the
<samp|Ref> field in the focus bar. Inside other executable input fields,
you may then refer to the value of the field by inserting a <em|field
