1.11.5 Exporting Formulas from Notebooks

Here is a cell containing a formula.
This is what you get if you copy the formula and paste it into an external text-based program.

\!\(-\(ArcTan[\(1 + 2 x\)\/\@3]\/\@3\) + Log[-1 + x]\/3
- Log[1 + x + x\^2]\/6\)

Pasting the text back into a notebook immediately reproduces the original formula.

Mathematica allows you to export formulas both textually and visually. You can use Export to tell Mathematica to write a visual representation of a formula into a file.

Export["file.eps", ToBoxes[expr]] save the visual form of expr to a file in EPS format
Export["file", ToBoxes[expr], "format"]
save the visual form of expr in the specified format

Exporting expressions in visual form.
