<expand|tmdoc-title|Planned changes in the <TeXmacs> document format>
<\enumerate>
<item>Currently, the arities of <apply|TeXmacs> operators are not allowed
to vanish (in which case they become leaves). For operators
like<verbatim| concat> this is not very clean nor very handy. We
therefore plan to allow arities of zero. The formatting operators of the
form <verbatim|(format how)> will in particular become operators of arity
zero.
<item>We are not happy at all with the way tables are formatted. We
currently provided imperfect <verbatim|mosaic> and <verbatim|split>
operators, which should be replaced with a single, more powerful
operator. However, we are not yet very sure about the right choice.
<item>Several extensions of the format should be foreseen. In
<verbatim|Typeset/data/data.gen.cpp>, you will notice that we have already
introduced the <verbatim|graphics>, <verbatim|point>, <verbatim|line>,
<verbatim|arc> and <verbatim|bezier> operators, which are not yet
implemented. Other future operators will concern footnotes, multicolums,
dynamic texts, graphics, computer algebra output, database or spreadsheet
facilities, etc.
