MathFullForm statement syntax
In addition to the mathematical structure of the equation, a MathFullForm statement can contain special instruc-
tions for character formatting, manual alignment points, and positioning and spacing values. Expressions have the
following syntax:
ExpressionName
[(*
FormatCodes
*)
operand
,
operand
,...]
Formatting codes are enclosed within asterisk (*) delimiters. If an expression doesn’t contain formatting codes, it
cannot contain asterisks. Formatting codes consist of a pair of flags enclosing a numeric value or string, except for
boolean flags, which are a single flag. For example, the following expression contains formatting codes that select a
display format and a boolean flag to set a manual line break point:
<MathFullForm `id[(*i2i*)char[x]]'>
String values in format codes must be enclosed in straight, double quotation marks ("). To include characters in the
extended ASCII range (above
0x127), use a backslash sequence (see “Character set in strings” on page 7).
You can use the following formatting codes, which can appear in any order. The default for all numeric values is 0.
