expr that renders as:
(1/2)-(3/7)
in CAStext when I use
{#expr#} (which is what I expect) but appears as
when I use
{@expr@}. Is this known/expected behaviour? Any ideas for how to get the LaTeX rendering to work correctly?Many thanks,
Hugh
I am encountering a strange behaviour in STACK. I have an expression

Apologies for clogging up the forum. I have solved this. It turned out to be related to the detailed way that
expr was constructed. Specifically, I had used nested calls to apply with operator names like "*" and "-" as the first argument. I had not spotted that Maxima does not understand - as a binary operation, which led to the strange behaviour when trying to evaluate the expression and convert to LaTeX.
Please don't worry Hugh. Minus, and the difference between binary a-b and unary -b is the bane of my life! It's a subtle issue in CAS when we are dealing with elementary expressions without simplification. If an example in the STACK docs would have helped you, please send me some text and I'll gladly add it.
