As part of another issue, the following has come up. Create an Interpretaion:

Interpretation[Subscript[a, b], a[b]]

Select and copy the $a_b$ output from the notebook. If you paste it into a text file, you get: a[b], which is correct as the Inputform, and what we want.

However, if you select it and choose Copy as Latex, you get: \text{$\$$CellContext$\grave{ }$a}(\text{$\$$CellContext$\grave{ }$b}) in a text file.

I would like to be able to copy this and get the latex as $a_b$, or $a[b]$ as a worst case. Are there any tricks that could help here? (I don't think this has anything to do with subscripts)

I have a way around it which works under Linux and Mathematica 9.0.1 and uses ToString like this

  • $\begingroup$ Perfect. Confirmed on Mathematica 8 on windows, will verify on 9 on windows next week. I actually prefer the command to copy/paste. Code on the motivating example is also being updated. $\endgroup$ Commented Aug 23, 2013 at 4:14
  • $\begingroup$ One caveat, in my version at least, is that when you select the string in the output, you should choose "Copy as Plain Text" as otherwise it copies as a string with escape characters, etc. $\endgroup$ Commented Aug 23, 2013 at 4:31
  • $\begingroup$ @jlperla Yes, you have to do that because ToString makes already the LaTeX transformation. $\endgroup$ Commented Aug 23, 2013 at 9:23
