They say it's easy to be wise after the event. What I should have
been searching for was justapose in the help for plotmath.
The available features are also described in the tables below:
*Syntax* *Meaning*
'x + y' x plus y
'x - y' x minus y
'x*y' juxtapose x and y
I must say that wasn't immediately obvious, but it does cover that
second method. Some wisdom isn't easy to acquire. Still can't think
of a useful keyword to use so others can find this in the archives.
Thank you Brian and Charilaos.
