Re: [sage-devel] How to deal with unsorted output of dictionaries in doctests

Rather than distinguishing the different backends, I was more worried about how to keep what related doctests currently give us. For example, in src/doc/fr/tutorial/latex.rst, pretty_print is advertised as a way to obtain nicely formatted MathJax output: sage: pretty_print(x^12) \newcom
