Actually "( x >-10 and x < -5 ) or ( x > 5 and x < 10 )" contains "or ( x" so there is a letter space left parenthesis. But it's probably impossible to prevent everything from breaking when implicit_multiplication is on. Personally I don't use implicit multiplication, but I do wish there were a function that changed implicit to explicit since it can be convenient to copy a polynomial from somewhere that uses implicit multiplication and going back to add *'s is annoying. But that's a completely different thread since it would also be nice if it could magically know and add ^'s as well. -Ivan -- 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
