I did not realize that "color" between quotes is correct (as it is correct without quotes as well).
This said, pasting into Scheme sessions IMHO still doesn't "work as it should". I add more details here, although the bug can probably be closed.


I expect it to paste expressions as plain text, while they get interpreted by TeXmacs.

This example is better than the one I made first.

1. Write a mathematical expression with Greek letters
2. Copy it to TeXmacs Scheme
3. Paste it onto a Scheme session

The Greek letters appear as Greek letters, not as Scheme code. The way to get them to appear as Scheme code (e.g. <alpha>) is paste from Verbatim.

Since I expected the Scheme session to work like a terminal, I did not figure out how to get around this for a long time (for a while I used pasting to a text editor as an intermediate step).

Most probably this is an issue of user interface and not a malfunctioning, in the sense that Joris (or who wrote the code) intended it to work in this way.

Are you sure this is incorrect code, G.? If I paste it into a Scheme session as

(stree->tree '(with "color" "green" (circle (point "0.0" "2.0") (point "2.0" "1.0") (point "2.0" "3.0"))))

I get a nice green circle :)

When copying from source in a drawing. Did not test further.

Example (note that "color" is between quotes, while it should not be as far as I understand):

<with|color|green|<circle|<point|0.0|2.0>|<point|2.0|1.0>|<point|2.0|3.0>>>

yields

(with "color" "green" (circle (point "0.0" "2.0") (point "2.0" "1.0") (point "2.0" "3.0")))
