Hi Tim, hi Eugene,
Ralf is doing great work and I hate to see such discouraging feedback.
It's not (yet) discouraging at all at the moment.
There were several point that made me think.
1) Where is TexFormat actually used?
2) Don't break efricas way of showing rendered latex via
Of course axiom-wiki uses the tex output extensively in a manner similar to
efricas.

Where can I patch the things? That are relevant to my changes?
In other words: where is it documented what mathaction actually does to
get the latex picture? If there is

From time to time I am pasting LaTeX output from FriCAS to papers.
That is clearly important use case.
OK. But why do we have the latex function then?
Anyway. Let's stick to TexFormat.
Would you be satisfied by letting TexFormat generate special
environments like, for example,

for me it looks like (rather weak) reason to

I do not know. Probably historical accident: somebody wanted
to do things in different way and left a half-baked
Hi Waldek,
Of course we need to adjust efricas and MathAction.
efricas doesn't seem to be a problem, I have it already running locally.
As for MathAction... I don't know whether you have running it in a VM.
Would it be an option to give me access to a *copy* of this VM or
provide a .ova image

For MathAction I hope this will be easy: AFAICS
Python code matches generically '\begin{something}...\end{something}'
so probably no change will be needed. There is global LaTeX
template and we need to use appropriate style

This is a bug. The appropriate command should be )set output latex on.
Thanks Eugene.
Yes, you are right. That is, what is written in section 4.5 of the AXIOM
book.

Customizable in the sense of TexFormat-customization or customization

\begin{array} is the native LaTeX book invocation
of an array environment; if somebody has added
a pmatrix environment, I personally would avoid
using it in anything I wrote unless it is in the
current LaTeX2e (or beyond) standard.
It is a combinatorial impossibility for you, me, or
anyone else
There is still a pending patch...

Try a matrix with more than 10 columns ...
