<tmdoc-title|Sending commands to <TeXmacs>>
The application may use <verbatim|command> as a very particular output
format in order to send <value|scheme> commands to <TeXmacs>. In other
words, the block
<\quotation>
<framed-fragment|<verbatim|<render-key|DATA_BEGIN>command:<em|cmd><render-key|DATA_END>>>
</quotation>
will send the command <verbatim|<em|cmd>> to <TeXmacs>. Such commands are
executed immediately after reception of <render-key|DATA_END>. We also recall that
such command blocks may be incorporated recursively in larger
<render-key|DATA_BEGIN>-<render-key|DATA_END> blocks.
<paragraph*|The <verbatim|menus> plug-in>
The <verbatim|nested> plug-in shows how an application can modify the
<TeXmacs> menus in an interactive way. The plug-in consists of the files
<\verbatim>
\ \ \ \ <example-plugin-link|menus/Makefile>
\ \ \ \ <example-plugin-link|menus/progs/init-menus.scm>
\ \ \ \ <example-plugin-link|menus/src/menus.cpp>
</verbatim>
The body of the main loop of <verbatim|menus.cpp> simply contains
<\cpp-fragment>
char buffer[100];
cin.getline (buffer, 100, '\\n');
cout \<less\>\<less\> DATA_BEGIN \<less\>\<less\> "verbatim:";
cout \<less\>\<less\> DATA_BEGIN \<less\>\<less\> "command:(menus-add
\\""
\ \ \ \ \ \<less\>\<less\> buffer \<less\>\<less\> "\\")"
\<less\>\<less\> DATA_END;
cout \<less\>\<less\> "Added " \<less\>\<less\> buffer \<less\>\<less\> "
to menu";
cout \<less\>\<less\> DATA_END;
fflush (stdout);
</cpp-fragment>
The <value|scheme> macro <scheme-code|menus-add> is defined in
<verbatim|init-menus.scm>:
<\scheme-fragment>
(menu-bind menus-menu
\ \ ("Hi" (insert "Hello world")))
\;
(menu-extend texmacs-extra-menu
\ \ (if (equal? (get-env "prog language") "menus")
\ \ \ \ \ \ (=\<gtr\> "Menus" (link menus-menu))))
\;
(define-macro (menus-add s)
\ \ `(menu-extend menus-menu
\ \ \ \ \ (,s (insert ,s))))
</scheme-fragment>
The configuration of <verbatim|menus> proceeds as usual:
<\scheme-fragment>
(plugin-configure menus
\ \ (:require (url-exists-in-path? "menus.bin"))
\ \ (:launch "menus.bin")
\ \ (:session "Menus"))
</scheme-fragment>
