Does anyone know a way to specify that TeXForm format decimals in the
way ScientificForm does.
By default TeXForm formats decimals to six significant figures:
In[1]:= TeXForm[0.00000002432342898]
Out[1]//TeXForm= 2.43234\,{10}^{-8}
I would like to have
TeXForm[0.00000002432342898,4]
or
TeXForm[ScientificForm[0.00000002432342898,4]]
to produce
2.432\,{10}^{-8}
