Gennady is correct to assess that this is somewhat 'undefined': it is difficult for TeXmacs to keep track of all macros that might have been defined somewhere in some LaTeX subpackage.

Nevertheless, as Gennady correctly points out, one may easily fix the problem using the 'specific' construct.  Instead of entirely shortcutting the preamble generated by TeXmacs (you may also use the preferences for this, by the way), it suffices to put a few 'specific' instructions in your TeXmacs preamble.  In your example, it suffices to put the following in your preamble.

<specific|latex|\renewcommand{\tmdfn}[1]{``#1''}>

Note that this will be put in your LaTeX preamble when exporting to LaTeX.

I can reproduce this.

However I think that this is just undefined behavior. A workaround is to remove the TeXmacs macros all together and write the latex equivalent by hand. I actually have this in my default starting file:


<specific|latex|% !!!!end[TeXmacs][preamble]>

\;

<specific|latex|% !!!!begin[LaTeX][document]>

<specific|latex|\\documentclass[a4paper,10pt,intlimits,sumlimits]{amsart}>

<specific|latex|\\usepackage{my-texmacs}>


and in the exported LaTeX file I just remove all the lines before the line


<specific|latex|% !!!!end[TeXmacs][preamble]>


and I have a separate my-texmacs.sty file where I manually include all relevant macros. I just copy-paste from the exported file (once) the macros I think are correct and write the others by hand.

A sample code is attached. The redefined \dfn is not exported into LaTeX.
