;; March, 1987

;; Method:

;; Producing TeX from a macsyma internal expression is done by
;; a reversal of the parsing process.  Fundamentally, a
;; traversal of the expression tree is produced by the tex programs,
;; with appropriate substitutions and recognition of the
;; infix / prefix / postfix / matchfix relations on symbols. Various
;; changes are made to this so that TeX will like the results.
;; It is important to understand the binding powers of the operators
;; in Macsyma, in mathematics, and in TeX so that parentheses will
;; be inserted when necessary. Because TeX has different kinds of
;; groupings (e.g. in superscripts, within sqrts), not all
;; parentheses are explicitly need.

;;  Instructions:
;; in macsyma, type tex(<expression>);  or tex(<label>); or
;; tex(<expr-or-label>, <file-name>);  In the case of a label,
;; a left-equation-number will be produced.
;; in case a file-name is supplied, the output will be sent
;; (perhaps appended) to that file.

;; The format of MCOND expressions is documented above the definition

;;
;;   ((%mcond) $a $b t nil)         <==>  'if a then b
;;   ((%mcond) $a $b t $d)          <==>  'if a then b else d
;;   ((%mcond) $a $b $c nil t nil)  <==>  'if a then b elseif c then false
;;   ((%mcond) $a $b $c $d t nil)   <==>  'if a then b elseif c then d
;;   ((%mcond) $a $b $c $d t $f)    <==>  'if a then b elseif c then d else f
;; 
;; Note that DIM-MCOND omits display of the final "else" in three
;; cases illustrated below, so we do the same here:
;; 
;;   ((%mcond) $a $b $c $d t $false)  <==>  '(if a then b elseif c then d)
;;   ((%mcond) $a $b $c $d t nil)     <==>   'if a then b elseif c then d
;;   ((%mcond) $a $b $c $d)            ==>   'if a then b elseif c then d
;;
;; The first two cases occur in practice, as can be seen by evaluating
;; ?print('(if a then b)) and ?print(if a then b).  The parser
;; produces the first case, which is transformed into the second case
;; during evaluation.  The third case is handled equivalently by the
;; evaluator and DIM-MCOND, and might plausibly be created by some
;; code, so we handle it here as well.
;;
;; The use of '$false (instead of nil) may be a hack that is no longer
;; needed.  For more information on this, search for $false in
;; PARSE-CONDITION of nparse.lisp and DIM-MCOND of displa.lisp.  Also
;; see the mailing list thread with subject "Bugs in tex-mcond" which
;; took place in January 2011.  -MHW
