No because Inert is a completely separate formatting system.  It doesn't
need or use anything from the built-in latex package.  Each inert expression
contains its own TeX formatting as a field inside it, either as a proc or a
string.  It doesn't use the built-in latex routines at all.

Just look at the `latex/latex/symbol` routine in aim/LaTeX.mpl.  You will
see what changes I made since I have them commented.  I tested the two
examples you gave in your original message and they both worked as you
wanted on my system, so perhaps the `` in your example is a different
situation (or the mods I just made only work in Maple 9)?  Or perhaps it is
coming from some other Maple latex routine that we are not currently
overriding because the expression you are constructing with `` is not a
symbol?
