DisplayForm

DisplayForm[expr]
prints with low-level boxes inside expr shown in explicit two-dimensional or other form.

MORE INFORMATION

In ordinary StandardForm output, boxes such as SubscriptBox are shown literally. In DisplayForm they are shown as explicit two-dimensional constructs.

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