I am having the same trouble as John. Would you expand a little bit on your
solution:
for example
$\sage{'Hello'}$
causes an error. Where should I put the 'r' as suggested in your post (I
think stands for raw string)? I tried several combination but nothing seems
to work.
Btw, 'text' in sage take two arguments and is for 2D plot, isn't it?
