I notice that expressions like TeXForm["x"] have changed their behaviour in Version 8, returning "\\text{x}" where they used to return simply "x". In other respects, TeXForm seems to behave much as before: for example, TeXForm["\[Alpha]"] returns "\\alpha" in both cases. This has affected some legacy code of mine a bit; it won't (I suspect) be too hard to disentangle, but I wondered what the rationale was, and whether it's likely to stay this way.
