Dear Maxima Users:
Setting display2d:false seems to affect the output of the tex command,
but only when used as in "tex(expr,false)". For example:
(%i1) tex(x^2);
$$x^2$$
(%o1) false
(%i2) tex(x^2,false);
(%o2) $$x^2$$
(%i3) display2d:false;
(%o3) false
(%i4) tex(x^2);
$$x^2$$
(%o4) false
(%i5) tex(x^2,false);
(%o5) \$x\^2\$\$\
This last behavior makes the TeX output of Maxima unusable in LON-CAPA,
as LON-CAPA will only return the last output (for example, "false" from
%i4, rather than the TeX), and needs 1d output.
Is this behavior of tex(expr,false) under display2d:false expected or
desirable? If so, is there perhaps another option to return the usual
TeX output under display2d:false?
Sincerely,
Lon Mitchell
