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'. »

Different list structures:

Inputs with subscripts, superscripts, etc.:

Some objects use a special output representation:

Compare the OutputForm with the underlying FullForm of the expression:

Some objects use an elided output representation:

The elided information is visible in the FullForm:

OutputForm affects display but not evaluation:

Apply OutputForm to the evaluated integral:

Special characters format as keyboard characters:

OutputForm formats in two dimensions:

StandardForm and TraditionalForm are two-dimensional with additional formatting:

InputForm and FullForm provide one-dimensional formatting:

Use ToString to generate a string in OutputForm:
