I've found a little more in the tutorial on using Format[], but the
information it gives is wrong. Here's what it says:

First of all, the TeXForm[1+x^2] shows no difference in formatting
than if the Format[] was omitted. Secondly, when we change the example
as follows
> In[6]:= TeXForm[x]
>
> Out[6]//TeXForm=
> \text{$\{\backslash \backslash $bf x$\}$}
This is clearly not the intention of the original Format[] (and still
the same doubled \backslash, if you even wanted one in the first
place).
So I guess this whole thing isn't working as it's supposed to in
version 6 (dunno about older versions).
