I don't yet understand the subtleties of evaluation order, but this seems unintuitive.

I've managed to get the representation I want with Text[StringJoin["x== ", ToString[x]]],
but would prefer both to understand what's happening and reduce verbosity.

thanks.

In addition to the approach you have found you may use also these:

x==1.2;
Row[{Style["x==",16,Red,Italic],Style[x,16,Blue,Italic]}]
x==_1.2

StringForm["x==``.",x]
x==1.2`.

Have fun. Alexei
