[Axiom-developer] Axiom's latex output

[root]

Joris, 

Chris has raised issues similar to ones you raised in the past.
Is there a common set of "standard latex" primitives you both use?
If so, we can create another latex output format such as
  )set output texmacs
that could satify both needs.

Tim
