Hi,<BR>
<BR>
You can also use the tex1()-command in MAXIMA,<BR>
<BR>
$texformula=&cas('maxima',"tex1($formula)");<BR>
<BR>
The output is in inline-format, and I don't like the way it renders fractions, so the coming lines fix that:<BR>
<BR>
$texformula=~s/\\\\/\\/gs;<BR>
$texformula=~s/^\"//;<BR>
$texformula=~s/\"$//;<BR>
$texformula=~s/\{([^\{]+)\}\\over\{([^\}]+)\}/\\frac\{$1\}\{$2\}/gs;<BR>
<BR>
and then<BR>
<BR>
<m eval="on" display="mimetex">\[$texformula\]</m><BR>
<BR>
I might package that into a convenient function call later.<BR>
<BR>
- Gerd.<BR>
