In this respect apparently texbreak is superior. Somehow it seems wrong to modify the examples rather than the method.

I think Tim Daly (and maybe people at NAG early) did quite a few initial changes to the generated LaTeX and treated that as the new source. FriCAS is the only project that is attempting to use the method by which the original published version of Axiom Book was produced. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "FriCAS - computer algebra system" group.
