LaTeXForm fails in version 2.5.2

Question

Greetings,

This simple statement

Dx{#}::LaTeXForm{"Dx"}.

raises a syntax error

SyntaxError: '{' was never closed

I'm running Cadabra version 2.5.2. build 3043.2a1d62739a.

Also, this version of Cadabra compiles fine under MacOS Sonoma 14.5.

Cheers, Leo

Answer 1

Properties use round brackets for their arguments, no matter how much recent C++ committees may have confused your brain with that.

Dx{#}::LaTeXForm("Dx").

works. The error message could probably be nicer, I agree.
