That doesn't seem to work for me. > Andrey is after. All this is processing is contained in sag/misc/ > latex.py. John Palmieri might have some insights/ideas as well. I don't know about that, but I'll try: perhaps the best thing would be to use some sort of verbatim environment for LaTeX typesetting of strings. My impression is that people tried this a while ago and ran into problems -- a while ago there were comments to this effect in misc/latex.py, but they seem to have been removed, probably by me. Regardless of the approach, it has to work with actual LaTeX and also with jsMath; the current plan uses \texttt in plain LaTeX and changes this to \hbox in jsMath (because jsMath doesn't understand the command \texttt). I think jsMath has some sort of verbatim environment, so you could try using that instead of \hbox. Similarly, you could try \verb... in plain LaTeX. To implement any solution, it would probably be a good idea to search the trac server and also search sage-devel and sage-support for comments about LaTeX typesetting of strings, to make sure that the proposed solution deals successfully with all previous issues. If anyone does this searching, regardless of whether they implement any solution, it would be very helpful to record the results so that everyone has a good list of test cases. Also, please cc me on any trac ticket about this. -- John -- To post to this group, send an email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to sage-devel+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URL: http://www.sagemath.org
