Hello Ralf ; I got your email OK. This is my answer
Since CAS integration tests does not use Fricas directly, but interface to it via sagemath, these %%E0 and %%E1 and rootof do not actually show up at all. Sagemath takes care of the conversion to sagemath speak automatically, since the result must be valid in sagemath world to be used. ================ >sage ┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ SageMath version 9.7, Release Date: 2022-09-19 │ │ Using Python 3.10.6.

And no, I would not have known what %%E0 and %%E1 mean myself either, I would had to also google this to find what these mean in Fricas if I needed to. --Nasser On Friday, October 14, 2022 at 4:40:11 AM UTC-5 ra...@hemmecke.org wrote: > I wonder how we can support a user to interpret the result of this > integration.
