We have
{{{
sage: abc = var('abc')
sage: latex((abc/(abc+1)+42)/(abc-1))
\frac{\frac{\mbox{abc}}{\mbox{abc} + 1} + 42}{\mbox{abc} - 1}
}}}
The \mbox here is wrong because of the following two reasons:
- In the example above `\mbox{abc}` has normal size, whereas the `+1` is
typeset in subscriptsize (or so). You can see this by
{{{view((abc/(abc+1)+42)/(abc-1))}}}.
- Variables are written in italic.
Therefore `\mbox` should be replaced by `\mathit` (which solves both
problems mentioned above).
See also #13543 (Multi-character variables not supported in
legend_labels).
