Burcin or someone else who understands more about this (I see Mike responded as well) would have to say. I think the real issue is that we'd like to have consistency in representation, and in particular that certain doctests don't fail where things should 'look' right - we have had issues in the past with minus signs in weird places or things not fractions in the right spots, for looks. - kcrisman -- To post to this group, send an email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to sage-devel+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URL: http://www.sagemath.org
