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.
