SUMMARY

Cantor does not render maxima output even when LaTeX typesetting is enabled.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Write Maxima code.
2. Press Enter

OBSERVED RESULT

The output is not formatted, not even like maxima CLI or the WxMaxima application.

i.e.:

[r = (sqrt(3)*%i-1)/(2^(4/3)*%pi^(1/3)),
       r = -(sqrt(3)*%i+1)/(2^(4/3)*%pi^(1/3)),r = 1/(2^(1/3)*%pi^(1/3))]

EXPECTED RESULT

The output should be rendered similar to LaTeX or wxMaxima. In the later case the output was:

<pre>(%i4) solve(A1(r) = 0);
               sqrt(3) %i - 1        sqrt(3) %i + 1           1
(%o4)     [r = --------------, r = - --------------, r = -----------]
                 4/3    1/3            4/3    1/3         1/3    1/3
                2    %pi              2    %pi           2    %pi
</pre>
