Yes, this is the intended behaviour. If you don't like it, then, as a workaround, you could try to clear the variable called "sage_configurable_latex_macros". YMMV, but this works for me in a fresh sage session: sage: from sage.misc.latex_macros import sage_configurable_latex_macros sage: global sage_configurable_latex_macros sage: sage_configurable_latex_macros.remove("\\newcommand{\\Bold}[1]{\\mathbf{#1}}") If I now type "html(x)", then the result is "<html>\[x\]</html>", instead of "<html>\[\newcommand{\Bold}[1]{\mathbf{#1}}x\]</html>".
If that gives errors due to a bad definition of "\\Bold", then maybe you should also do: sage: sage_configurable_latex_macros.append("\\renewcommand{\\Bold}[1]{\\mathbf{#1}}") On Sunday, December 19, 2021 at 7:34:13 AM UTC-7 AlbertHilb wrote: > Hi all. > > I noted every command LaTeX output is prefaced by the definition of a > \Bold newcommand even if the \Bold command is not really used in the > output. > For example, if I type "1" and press return I get > > \newcommand{\Bold}[1]{\mathbf{#1}}1 > > Is this intended? > > Among other things, the presence of the newcommand definition prevent me > from using KaTeX as LaTeX renderer because it complains \Bold command > already exists and \renewcommand should be used to redefine it. > > I use SageMath 9.4 binary for Ubuntu 20.04 64 bit with jupyterlab 3.2.4 as > frontend. > > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
