Check URL for linked image. LaTeX mtimes symbol defined in cantor-initmaxima.lisp produces the bad output at the bottom of the linked image, which makes it look at it says 6 has one prime factor, namely 23. My patch makes it produce the improved output at the top of the linked image, where we can clearly read the prime factorization as 2 times 3. Needless to say, this output problem is very problematic in all kinds of contexts. (This is with TeXLive 2003, but I am fairly sure other TeX distributions are affected as well) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. enter any maxima input that might produce output which contains mtimes symbol, e.g. factor(6) 2. look at output 3. notice the problem Actual Results: Bad output, reading as 23 Expected Results: Good output readable as 2 times 3 Patch to fix this issue is here http://bpaste.net/show/172719/ I'm marking it as severity normal, instead of cosmetical, since it makes the maxima backend a lot less useful than it could be
Works fine in v16.07. Seems to be fixed already.
