Value

Returns an expression (see the output parameter).

Examples

TeX("$\\alpha$")
TeX("The ratio of 1 and 2 is $\\frac{1}{2}$")

a <- 1:100
plot(a, a^2, xlab=TeX("$\\alpha$"), ylab=TeX("$\\alpha^2$"))

Example output

expression(`$\alpha$` = paste("", "", alpha, , , , ""))
expression(`The ratio of 1 and 2 is $\frac{1}{2}$` = paste("The ratio of 1 and 2 is ", 
    "", frac(paste("1"), paste("", "2")), ""))
