<TeXmacs> is more problematic than conversions the other way around. As
long as you restrict yourself to using the most common <LaTeX> commands,
the conversion process should not give rise to any major difficulties.
However, as soon as your documents contain ``weird macro definitions'',
then the converter may get confused. We also notice that <TeXmacs> is
currently unable to convert <LaTeX> style files and no plans exist to
enhance the converter in this direction.

<item*|Import sophisticated objects as pictures>This option allows
<TeXmacs> to compile the <LaTeX> document in a temporary directory, with
the package <verbatim|preview> installed, in order to import some macros
or environments as pictures. The source of each picture is also imported
in order to be re-exported if needed. Currently, the following macros are
imported as pictures when this option is set: <verbatim|\\xymatrix>,
<verbatim|pspicture>, <verbatim|tikzpicture>.
<item*|Keep track of the <LaTeX> source code>One should be interested in
this option in order to use <TeXmacs> to make small or isolated
modifications into a <LaTeX> file (e.g. for a proofreading). This option
allows <TeXmacs> to import the <LaTeX> document with added markup in
order to track the original sources of the document paragraphs. These
tracked sources are, as far as possible, re-used during a <LaTeX>
re-export.
<item*|Ensure transparent tracking>This option, subject to the above,
verify that the added markup does not change the result of the
conversion. It has been added for testing purpose and may <em|strongly>
increase the time of the import process (at least it double it).
