Comment #5 on issue 1678 by oscar.bristol: Incorrect latex formatting of powers of square roots. http://code.google.com/p/sympy/issues/detail?id=1678
I created issue 1691, an exact duplicate of this issue as I didn't notice this one. Initially, I misunderstood the code here. The problem, I believe, is mainly that the test condition for executing this code is inappropriate. The test matches expressions of type x**(n/2). I guess it was intended to match expressions of type x**(1/n), in which case $\sqrt[n]{x}$ would be appropiate latex code. I've attached a patch that does this. The difference between the attached patch and Jorn's patch above is whether or not e.g. x**(1/3) will be formatted as $\sqrt[3]{x}$ or $x^{\frac{1}{3}}$.
