That's handy for outputting strings, but unfortunately because the .sout
file puts everything in a \newlabel{} command, it still can't handle
paragraph breaks. So all my problems would need to be one paragraph. I
could use \\ to split paragraphs primitively, and display math *does* work,
so it's progress! :) Not perfect yet, but usable---good tip, thanks, Jason!
Also, I had looked for something like \sagestr in the manual, but I was
looking at this version:
http://www.math.washington.edu/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/sagetex/sagetexpackage.pdf
Turns out that one's ancient, and the latest is here:
http://cdn.bitbucket.org/ddrake/sagetex/downloads/sagetex.pdf
Now I see \sagestr, and lots of other cool new tools that weren't around
in, uh, 2009. :)
