when I have a

```julia
using Reduce

```

and I try to weave it, it weaves really slow. I want to use reduce, for things like expanding, but it won’t load. what all affects the speed and ability of packages to load into Julia Markdown?

I was going to ask on git hub, I was partially thinking it was a markdown thing, and I was wondering, if someone could help with Julia Markdown.

Yes, other packeges load fine (even Gnuplot, which I don’t need with Reduce, and doesn’t load to weave, although I think I can save and add a .tex or .pdf, but that’s a seperate issue., I also might want to know if there’s a way to put Reduce outputs into functions, so I can use other packeges, including Plots.)
