OutputForm

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

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.

When possible, OutputForm uses approximations to special characters. Thus ≥ is given as >= and é as e'. »

OutputForm of a typeset expression:

Out[1]//OutputForm=

OutputForm of a graphic:

Out[1]//OutputForm=
