That's because you're getting the html-formatted version of it instead of the raw (plain text) one. See below: > Could you post a link to the patch file, and instructions with the > command to use and directory to be in when its run. There are several ways to do this. I personally prefer using Mercurial queues, see http://wiki.sagemath.org/MercurialQueues for a crash course. Follow what that page says until the point where you have done "hg qinit". Then, for this particular patch, you would do hg qimport http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/raw-attachment/ticket/6699/maxima_doctests.patch hg qpush ../../sage -b At this point you have merged the patch and rebuilt the Sage library. You can now run tests, etc. If you want to also check out what the modifications to the documentation look like, you have to use sage -docbuild to rebuild the various things (tutorial, constructions, reference manual, etc.) When you are done with looking at the patch and want to get rid of it, you just need to do hg qpop ../../sage -b and your Sage is back in its original shape.
