[Maxima-discuss] Correct Syntax for Greek Letters in Maxima Batch Files for LaTeX Export

[Foad S. F. <f.s...@gm...>]

Hello Maxima Community,

I am currently working on a project that involves symbolic calculations
with Maxima, which I plan to include in a LaTeX document. To ensure my
repository is git-friendly, I prefer using Maxima batch files (.mac/.mc)
over WxMaxima (.wxmx) documents. Occasionally, I need to load these batch
files into WxMaxima to render LaTeX outputs.

My calculations involve a significant use of Greek letters, such as 𝜌
(rho) and 𝜎 (sigma). I am looking for the correct syntax to use in the
Maxima batch files so that when loaded into WxMaxima, the Greek letters are
correctly displayed in the outputs. Furthermore, I am interested in whether
there is a native Maxima command to directly generate LaTeX outputs that I
can include in my LaTeX documents.

Could anyone provide guidance on how to properly format Greek letters in
the .mac/.mc files for correct LaTeX rendering, or point me towards a
command in Maxima that outputs LaTeX code directly?

Thank you for your assistance.
