Do you think of something like setProperty/display in BOP? https://fricas.github.io/api/BasicOperator.html Or have I completely misread your suggestion? I've been using the those methods for some time, e.g. f:=operator 'f display(f,o+->F) f [x,y,z] -> F properties f -> table(%display = NONE) in order to suppress the arguments (enhancing readibility of large formulas), however, it's not exatly brilliant :( - you'll notice that as soon as you need derivatives. @Waldek > it is not something > localized but in principle has very wide scope. Admitted, however, what's wrong with this? It concerns MathJax only, and a sin(a) remains as is unless you define another representation for "a" - strictly speaking, it's more like a substitution. > > On Sun, May 2, 2021 at 3:02 PM Waldek Hebisch <hebi...@math.uni.wroc.pl > <mailto:hebi...@math.uni.wroc.pl>> wrote: > > On Sun, May 02, 2021 at 11:29:44AM -0400, Bill Page wrote: > > Ralf's proposed patch for FormatMathJax allows much more than just > support > > of Unicode-like symbols.
