OK, I went and looked at the standard and it seems like they're thought about this: they allow input as either ∫(x²/2) or ∫(x^2/2) but they apparently output as ∫(x^2/2) because it's more general and editable, like if you wanted to change the exponent to something that didn't have a predefined Unicode superscript.
- mjevans 9y agoI like that, except I prefer "un-necessary" parenthesis to be explicit about the ordering of operations. Thus assume only + - and * / are unambiguous, everything else be explicit about ordering. EG: ∫((x^2)/2)
