Comment(by jhpalmieri):
Replying to [comment:11 rbeezer]:
>The new methods for setting matrix and vector delimiters are a very
welcome addition, and the options for "bolding" rings provide a good
example for future options like this. One should note that work still
needs to be done to make this work for all rings, this patch appears to
only demonstrate use for ZZ and GF (though I could have missed some).
The second patch also changes QQ, RR, and CC. It leaves {{{\mathbb{P}}}}
and {{{\mathbb{A}}}} unchanged. (The first patch includes only the core
of the customization code, and the relevant files happened not to use QQ,
RR, or CC.)
> The use of an instance of the Latex class, named "latex" had me confused
for a while, since now {{{latex.__call__}}} replaces the functionality of
the old {{{latex()}}}. Some commentary highlighting the {{{latex}}}
instance in the source (at some point - either now, or later) might save
others the same confusion.
Does this affect end-users, or just developers? I mean, does
{{{latex(blah)}}} behave the same as it used to? I hope so -- that was my
intention. You're right, though, that the syntax from the development end
is different, but that seemed like the nicest way to do the customization:
as methods (which could be tab-completed) attached to latex. Do you have
suggestions about what sorts of comments to add?
> {{{sage -docbuild pdf reference}}} seemed to choke on the doctest for
the {{{list_function}}} method in {{{misc/latex.py}}}.
I think this is easy to fix: put an "r" in front of the triple quotes at
the beginning of the docstring. It was there originally, and then I
deleted it (I don't know why) in the new version.
I'll produce a new patch soon with the "r", and with part 2 rebased
against 3.4.1.rc4.
