Thanks -- but NO! Your suggestion does NOT accomplish what I asked. I
already tried it. Here's what's wrong with that approach:
(1) It prints a doubled equal sign, not a single equal sign. As I said,
I truly want a conventional mathematical formula, y = f(x), with the y
and the x italicized (and nothing else italicized).
(2) If one tries to replace the == with a single =, then of course one
winds up with precisely the original difficulty I mentioned: it assigns
the expression f[x] to y and prints only the f(x), albeit the latter in
correct conventional mathematical form with f and x italicized but the
parenthses not italicized.
Further, using a single = has the undesirable side efffect of assigning
a value to y. (That one could work around by using a Block, etc. But
still the real difficulty is that the "y = " doesn't appear in the
printed text.)
