1. list the structured types currently implemented in the library.

2. check whether matching against them still produce errors.

What about 'patmatch' and 'applyrule' in these cases?

And I do not see this limitation documented:

?typematch 

Calling Sequence
typematch(e, t)
t - any type, possibly augmented by :: operators

Yes, I have guessed that "not wasting time" could be one of the reasons why those users that talked to me probably have not reported. But probably not because they expected a "frustrating" answer from support. I have no evidence of that.

Reporting a bug requires time to isolate it in the simplest example,  check the  documentation , etc.  Probably a small fraction of the users are willing to do it.
Important local reasons for not reporting to support include limited knowledge of English and use of unlicenced copies.

There are "grey" areas like "deficiencies" in the documentation and "weaknesses" in parts of the system. Ie things that give room for different opinions on what is right or wrong (as opposed to an integral that gives a wrong result).

In my opinion, the documentation, as a system, is the weakest part of Maple. Sadly, Maplesoft  gives it  too a low priority. The size of the help system really means that more resources should be allocated for its improvement. So, I support your request.

Frankly, I would not waste time in stuff like the Maplet builder. Apparently, it arised in Maple 10 and may be that it is no longer being developed.

I do not know MathType myself, but I read at their site:

Type TeX or LaTeX: If you already know the TeX typesetting language, you can enter equations quickly using MathType's TeX input mode.

Hence you may try using the command 'latex'.

 PD: dhar posted below the same idea while I was editing.

Right click on it > Properties > Alternate text, it gives you the Maple code.

Since a week or so the "gif machine" is working in "interface(prettyprint=0)" mode.

By the way, option "View Image" leads to the site Online Math Oracles > “The Math Homework Oracle”. But clicking on the options in the menu produces error messages like:

MapleNet is Busy -
MapleNet is currently experiencing high traffic and cannot start a new Oracle. Please try again soon. /maplenet/Calc/derivative.mw .

Somebody knows what this "Oracle" is?

PD: self-answer, from the half English/half French page Student Help Center:

"Visitez simplement les Oracles Maplesoft en ligne, entrez votre problème et la réponse vous sera donnée par une technologie étonnante qui s'appelle MapleNET."

Ie, an online version of Maple.
