Well my real problem is:
how to print, in a readable way, really long expressions produced by maxima?
I was wishing that maxima could automatically insert breaklines(\\) in its
tex output, in order to use the multline environment.
But as it was said in the thread by Leo Butler and Richard Fateman
Its probably a task for LaTex, not for maxima.
I've more or less solved the problem with breqn package
and with the help of the hack suggested by Steve in the
"[Maxima] Possibly useful hack for tex output..." thread.
P.S:
I did not yet find "the-solution" for view/print long expressions.
After several years using maxima, with or without gui's,
xmaxima, wxmaxima, TexMacs, imaxima...
at the end of the day, my favourite way of using maxima is with Emacs maxima-
mode, sending some of the output to a latex files (and on-the-fly compiling it
and view it with xdvi).
