 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^*')


 Try:

sage: p_1star = var('p_1star', latex_name='p_1^*')

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

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

Thanks for the tip again!
