Multline latex output



It is difficult to deal with line-breaking after the fact, as with breqn.

In order to do a proper job, Maxima needs to know the width of the 
eventual display line
(e.g. are you preparing a paper with 2-column format or 1?  Or are you 
making a powerpoint
slide?)

It is not so difficult to do this formatting if you are not using all 
the bells and whistles of TeX
(or Maxima) . After all, the regular display does it, to some extent, 
though of course not
everyone likes it.

 A typesetter version of the (Macsyma) display was written in the 1970's 
by John
Foderaro for his MS project,  "Photot", but for the "eqn" typesetter, on 
UNIX.  I think that
wxmaxima must do something similar.

My feeling is that doing optimal line-breaking for use in a formal 
static presentation
generally requires human intervention.
