| Oct 21, 2015 at 19:09 | comment | added | murray | @J.M.: correct, on the left-hand side of the equality, the variable's name should appear, not its value; its value is involved only on the right-hand side of the equality. | |

| Oct 21, 2015 at 16:48 | comment | added | murray | @J.M.: your solution does give proper spacing appropriate to good mathematical typography. Alas, it doesn't seem to generalize to typesetting things like $\sin(2 \pi z) = 1/\sqrt{2}$ after setting z=1/8. | |
| Oct 21, 2015 at 16:38 | comment | added | murray | The trouble with things like TraditionalForm@Row[{HoldForm[z], " = ", z }] is that the " = " part is pure text and doesn't produce reasonable mathematical typography -- too much space around the equal sign. | |

| Oct 21, 2015 at 1:21 | comment | added | J. M.'s missing motivation | z = 99; DisplayForm[FormBox[RowBox[{"z", "=", z}], TraditionalForm]]? | |
| Oct 21, 2015 at 1:19 | comment | added | Bob Hanlon | z = 99; StringForm["z = ``", z] // TraditionalForm | |
