Hi all,
[I've just compiled the CVS version for the new command line options (in
particular --batch-string). Many thanks James Amundson.]
I'm partially intending to use Maxima for its great TeX generation
capabilities. But there's a problem with using Maxima to generate
presentation markup--it reverses the order of terms when performing
addition:
(C1) a+b;
(D1) b + a
Note that it doesn't do this with multiplication:
(C2) a*b;
(D2) a b
And has good reason to leave the order of terms alone with this
subtraction:
(C3) a-b;
(D3) a - b
And the good sense to simply this expression:
(C4) -a+b;
(D4) b - a
If it's not onerous to implement can the order of input terms please be
maintained when there is no overriding reason to reverse them.
Thanks,
Adam Warner
