FW: exporting/displaying in programming code style

Eryk,
   For displaying, issue "display2d:false;".  Another approach I have used,
which works for exporting expressions, is "fortran"; issue describe(fortran)
for more information.  For long expressions you would have to edit the
output (which includes continuation characters), but that is usually a quick
job.

Subject: exporting/displaying in programming code style

Maxima is great, so I started to use it but I am still a newbe
(searched for quite a while the manual) and can't figure out how
 to export/display an maxima result (some equation)
in a programming language style?

So instead of getting something like this:
                 4            3         2     2       3                4
2
L = - ((2 m2  - m1 m2  - 2 m1  m2  - m1  m2 + 2 m1 ) L3

I would prefer to get a display such as:

L = - ((2 * m2^4  - m1^3 * m2^2  - 2* m1^2 * m2^2  - m1^3  * m2 + 2 *
m1^4 ) * L3^2

How can I change how Maxima displays formulas?

Thanks
Eryk
