BTW, personally I think that for standard text (non-LaTeX) output the 1-D format proposed by Nils and illustrated in the ticket would be a good and mostly neutral choice as a default output format. I like the idea of being able in principle to cut-and-paste expressions back to input. If Sage supported a standard ASCII-art 2-d output format for expressions, then perhaps another choice would be suitable. For LaTeX format output I would be looking for "publication quality" output, i.e. the notation most commonly seen in mathematical publications. Of course even then there is clearly a need to support several alternatives. Bill Page. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
