What value of Epilog in a Plot expression will properly format
y = f(x)
in conventional mathematical style? That is, the y, f, and x should be
italicized but the = and parentheses should not.
Some things that do NOT work:
Epilog -> Text[TraditionalForm[y = f(x)], {0.5, 0.5}]
(* that just sets y to be f(x) and then displays f(x) *)
textForm[txt_] := StyleForm[txt, FontFamily -> Times]
mathForm[txt_] := StyleForm[txt, FontFamily -> Times, FontSlant -> Italic]
Epilog -> Text[mathForm["y "], textForm["="], mathForm[" f(x)"], {0.5 0.5}]
(* SOMETHING like the preceding should work, but I don't see how to
combine the three StyleForm results *)
