Ralf, I'm finally getting ready to add/standardize LaTeX names for special functions. I wanted to start with elliptic integrals but see that latex_name or _print_latex_ are already defined for all of them. The LaTeX formatting shows at the command line but does not get rendered in notebooks or SageMathCell. Since elliptic integrals are all BuiltinFunction, what would be blocking the rendering of LaTeX?
