Greetings,

Here is a short snippet that seems (to me) to give incorrect answers. I get the expected answer for u (i.e., A^{a}) but for v I was expecting B^{a} but instead I get B^{a} + B^{a} + B^{a}. That seems incorrect to me. I might also note that if I comment out the LaTeXForm property for B{#} then I get the expected results for both u and v.

Cheers, Leo

{a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h#}::Indices.

B{#}::LaTeXForm{"{B}"}.

{A^{a},B^{a}}::Weight(label=eps,value=0).

def truncate (obj,n):

    ans = Ex(0)

    for i in range (0,n+1):
       foo := @(obj).
       bah = Ex("eps = " + str(i))
       keep_weight (foo, bah)
       ans = ans + foo

    return ans

u := A^{a}.
v := B^{a}.

u = truncate (u,2);
v = truncate (v,2);

Well spotted. It has nothing to do with LaTeXForm per se, but rather with the fact that a property was defined for B{#}, and lookup of labelled properties (Weight is a labelled property, with in your case eps being the label) containing a bug.

Now fixed in github. Thanks.

Hi Kasper, Thanks for the quick fix and the explanation. It works. Cheers, Leo
