[sage-support] Maintain order of symbols in show() or view()

[Joon Ro]

Hi,

I was wondering if it is possible to maintain the order of symbols in the  
output of show() or view() as inputted.
For example, if I do show(1-alpha) then I get latex output of -alpha + 1,  
instead of latex output of 1 - alpha.


It would be great if there is a way to suppress this.

Thank you,
Joon

I actually found Sage's documentation hard to follow. This ? business  
looks really helpful.

Thanks for the tip again!

Note that you could have discovered this feature by typing var? and
looking at the examples there.

[sage-support] Use latex tags in variable names?

[Joon Ro]

Hi,

I just started using Sage, and I have a question about variable names.
I skimmed through the documentation but could not find any answers.

Is it possible to used latex tags in variable names so when I do  
show(var) I get the latex output?

For example, I want to do:

p_1star = var('p_1^*')

but apparently it does not work. (latex(p_1star) yields p_{\mbox{1^*}})

Is there any way to do this?

Thank you,
Joon
