A couple points: you don't need to set simp to false; and you want
diff(x^2,x);not
diff(x^2);Here is what I get when I leave simp unchanged and specify the independent variable from an uncustomized session:

$${{d}\over{d\,x}}\,x^2$$Which, aside from the tex-ism, is what you want.

Hello,
I wanted to report what seemed like a bug in Maxima.
With the option
simp:falsethe following command returns some unusual TeX markup:tex('diff(x^2));The command is supposed to return the unevaluated TeX version of the derivative of x^2. Ideally it should be:
\frac{d}{dx}\,x^{2}The actual TeX output is:
$${{d^{{\it mplus}\left(\right)}}\over{{\it mtimes}\left(\right)}}\,x ^2$$which doesn't render too nicely in MathJax or LaTex Math Mode.
I'm using
Maxima 5.32.1 using Lisp SBCL 1.1.14.debianThank you!
