------------------------------+---------------------------------------------
The current latex output for simple strings is a bit overkill:
{{{
sage: latex("hello world")
\verb|hello|\phantom{\verb!x!}\verb|world|
}}}
There is a rationale behind it: namely this allows for a nicer rendering
of multi-line ascii art by emulating a fixed-width font. However, for a
simple one line string, the following would be more readable:
{{{
sage: latex("hello world")
\text{hello world}
}}}
The attached preliminary patch does this. However more work would need to
be done, as this requires changing quite a few doctests. In fact some code
seem to assume that the output use {{{\verb}}} before stripping this away,
so maybe some cleanup is in order there.
I for myself won't work any further on this patch; feel free to take over!
