Comment (by novoselt):
Since I had no desire to dig into old show mess, I've merged this into my
branch for !SageMathCell based on 6.6.rc1 and get
{{{
OSError: [calculus ] docstring of
sage.symbolic.expression.Expression.show:14: WARNING: Block quote ends
without a blank line; unexpected unindent.
}}}
while building documentation.
What is the long-term plan for `pretty_print/show/view`? I've always used
`show` to get a plot out or a displayed formula and `view` for inline
formulas (which could be on the same line as `print`ed text). That was
definitely not something intuitive/easily discoverable. Perhaps `show` can
be reserved for graphics only (2D/3D/animated) and its use for other
objects deprecated? While `pretty_print` with some keywords to control
display/inline should be the only official way to display formulas, with
its use for graphics deprecated? And `view` just gone?.. For the moment it
seems that `view` is left as is and `show = pretty_print` after this
branch.
