OutputForm

Usage

• OutputForm[expr] prints as a two-dimensional representation of expr using only keyboard characters.

Notes

• OutputForm is an approximation to StandardForm which uses only ordinary keyboard characters.

• The OutputForm of many kinds of expressions is quite different from their internal representation.

• OutputForm acts as a "wrapper", which affects printing, but not evaluation.

• OutputForm cannot be used directly for input to Mathematica.

• When possible, OutputForm uses approximations to special characters. Thus

is given as

and

as e'.
