Other Assign forms

Other types of Mathematica output formats may be specified as arguments to the Assign function. The following shows how TEX expressions may be produced:

In[4]:= Assign[ "\alpha", x Log[Subscripted[y[i]]], TeXForm ]

Out[4]//OutputForm=
\alpha = x\,\log (y_{i})

Which prints as $\alpha = x\,\log (y_{i})$. This facility can be particularly useful for producing TEX and L^ATEX documents from Mathematica notebooks. Smith suggests establishing template TEX and L^ATEX files for use with Splice [27]. The Mathematica input and output lines are evaluated and placed at appropriate points in the text, thus ensuring accurate proofs. In L^ATEX the inverbatim environment is especially useful and has been used throughout the preparation of this document.
