As others have mentioned, you can set display2d:false so that all output is
linear.
If you only occasionally want a linear form for (e.g.) export to another
system, you can use string(...), which actually returns a string value, e.g.
string(x^2-1) => "x^2-1"
which you can then manipulate or output as you like. Unlike display2d:false
or 'fortran', string does no line breaking or insertion of continuation
syntax.
