Thanks, this is helpful. When I search https://github.com/sympy/sympy-live I can only find it in https://github.com/sympy/sympy-live/tree/master/templates/base.html so I can't confirm your remark
> What SymPy Live does is return the LaTeX string of expression using the > LaTeX printer (accessible through the latex() function), and then passes > that to MathJax It looks to me like the tutorial web page, which might be Jupyter, does this. In the SymPy tutorial, the first examples in https://docs.sympy.org/latest/tutorial/intro.html print nicely, but, starting with "The Power of Symbolic Computation" and the example diff(sin(x)*exp(x), x) the output is no longer nicely formatted, but looks like "Unicode" formatting. Here, you can also see that the output is no longer centered. In addition, the examples do not include print statements, so it looks like the lines in the examples that don't contain ">>>" were not created by the example itself. When I look at the source of the web page for the tutorial, I can see that it contains URLs for live.sympy.org, and also for MathJax. My conclusion: The use of MathJax is not in the SymPy Live code, but in the code of the tutorial web page. Finally, it looks to me like what I need is not to understand how SymPy Live formats the output, but how the tutorial formats it. If I need immediate formatting in my project, I should probably use Jupyter notebooks. In comparison, I have done a lot with MATLAB Symbolic Math Toolbox, and now I am just starting to use Python and SymPy. In MATLAB, I got the best formatting using MATLAB "live scripts", whÃch are a kind of notebook. However, the output was never good enough for publication, so I used it for calculations and searching for a solution, and the created my publication documents in another system.
