  • $\begingroup$ Do you need this because the multiplication is non-commutative? Or is there another goal here? $\endgroup$ Commented Aug 17, 2018 at 22:50
  • $\begingroup$ No, it's purely a formatting issue. The question was motivated by my attempt to answer this question: mathematica.stackexchange.com/questions/180127/… I've gotten close, but the next step is replacing the additions with multiplications, while otherwise holding the form. More generally, it made me curious whether there was a way to apply Hold/HoldForm/Unevaluated, etc. to parts of an expression's output, as opposed to the input expression itself, should I encounter future cases where that type of manipulation is useful. $\endgroup$ Commented Aug 17, 2018 at 22:59
