Jacinta: Please explain what you want. I am not aware of
any "fillable form documents." Octave is free. Just download
it.

Hey ideas , I was enlightened by the info - Does someone know where my company might acquire a fillable a form document to fill out ?

A TeX interpreter has been implemented for the FLTK toolkit and will be part of release 3.8.0. Closing report.

I know that Octave's development is driven by volunteers, I am thankful to those people who made Octave into what it is today, and I hope I didn't inadvertantly offend anybody. Furthermore I hope that my bug reports are not interpreted as me expecting other people to do my bidding but rather as a form of contribution to the project other than committing code.

Everyone fixing bugs here is doing so as an unpaid volunteer.
If you need fixes in a relatively short time, consider contributing the changes for the features you need, or hiring someone to provide support for your needs.

I wasn't aware that all TeX parsing takes place in gnuplot, so yes, I agree that these bugs should be reported with gnuplot instead. However, I do have a few remarks.
- This bug (#35912) doesn't concern TeX. Can you please change the title back to "Wrong display of carets and underscores for
interpreter=='none'" (or something similar) and make one of the other, TeX-related bugs the TeX master bug?
- While I generally do agree that bugs in the TeX parser should be fixed in the TeX parser itself, i.e. in gnuplot, I don't think this applies to all the bugs I submitted yesterday. Take for example bug #35920: gnuplot actually does the right thing here in expecting ampersands and tildes to be escaped as "\&" and "\~", respectively. This is compliant with standard TeX. Unfortunately MATLAB's TeX parser has some quirks that make it incompatible with standard TeX. Among those quirks is that it treats un-escaped ampersands and tildes as printable characters. Now while Octave probably aims to recreate MATLAB's brand of TeX, I believe gnuplot would rather implemenent standard TeX than MATLAB TeX since it is used not only as a plotting tool for Octave. Therefore I think Octave is responsible for transcribing MATLAB TeX to proper TeX in order to pass that to gnuplot.
- You mentioned that you'd appreciate help in writing a (MATLAB) TeX interpreter for Octave. I actually did recently write a conversion routine from MATLAB TeX to regular TeX for the project matlab2tikz which you can find at https://github.com/nschloe/matlab2tikz. What it does is take a MATLAB-compatible TeX string as input and convert it to a string that can be compiled with (La)TeX. Assuming that gnuplot interprets proper TeX correctly, such an approach and some of matlab2tikz's code could be used in Octave as a MATLAB/regular TeX compatibility layer for graphics_toolkit 'gnuplot', too.
- My understanding is that there is no TeX parser for graphics_toolkit 'fltk' in Octave right now (except for the one at http://octave.1599824.n4.nabble.com/TeX-interpreter-for-FLTK-backend-td3038693.html which wasn't incorporated into Octave). This means that Octave users must use graphics_toolkit 'gnuplot' to properly display TeX strings. If this output then deviates from that which you see in MATLAB, personally I would regard it as a MATLAB incompatiblity bug and not a feature request. Then again I don't follow Octave development closely enough to know how you handle cases like these.

Octave doesn't implement TeX at all; gnuplot does. I guess we could patch gnuplot, but these really are all gnuplot bugs and belong in a separate project. It is an outstanding project to implement a TeX interpret for Octave. If you have some way of making it happen, please help:
http://octave.org/wiki/index.php?title=GSoC_Project_Ideas#TeX.2FLaTeX_markup
I'm renaming this bug to a feature request to implement TeX and marking all your other TeX bugs as duplicate of this one. I hope you agree.

Tue 20 Mar 2012 05:36:34 PM UTC, original submission:
Underscores and carets are displayed as "\_" and "\^", respectively, for interpreter=='none'. Additionally a spurious output appears. Example:
This produces the output "foo\_bar\^foo" instead of "foo_bar^foo". The spurious output is
The number of "labels" outputs depends on the number of carets and underscores in the text string. The spurious output re-appears when the figure changes, e.g. upon
This bug is specific to graphics_toolkit 'gnuplot' and does not show for graphics_toolkit 'fltk'.
