 Description

When Maxima gets float input, the simplifier tries to convert this to rational representation and informs the user about this conversion. Normally, for the user this is completely irrelevant and the message is annoying because it spoils the result.

The maxima doc offers two ways to get rid of this:

  • Suppress the conversion by setting keepfloat : true. This is done in the plugin init file, but by whatever reason does not work.
  • Suppress the warnings by setting ratprint : false. This works as the screenshot shows.

The request is to add a line

        <Command>ratprint:false$</Command>

to maxima.xml
