Sorry for not being clear. I meant to ask how you would propose getting
an output latex of $x_n$. In other words, I would like to explicitly
tell latex that there is a subscript.
Currently:
sage: latex(var('xn'))
\mbox{xn}
sage: latex(var('x_n'))
x_{n}
How would you propose getting an output like the second command? I
guess one possibility is that:
sage: latex(var('variable123')) # where 123 could be any number
variable_{123}
but
sage: latex(var('variable_n'))
variable_{n}
