My aim is to title my plot with a LaTeX style.  
My code is the following

```julia
using Plots
using LaTeXStrings
V= "My Title"
plot([1,2],[1,2], title=L"&(V)")

```

But it does not work. I already used `title=latexstring(V)` , but the space disappeared (This idea come from [LaTeX code for titles, labels,... with Plots.jl](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/latex-code-for-titles-labels-with-plots-jl/1967) )

PS : Make` title=L"My Title"` is not a solution in my context

Thanks in advance

You can use `%$V` to interpolate `V` into the Latex string, see [GitHub - JuliaStrings/LaTeXStrings.jl: convenient input and display of LaTeX equation strings for the Julia language](https://github.com/JuliaStrings/LaTeXStrings.jl).

In the default GR backend its a bit tricky but

```julia
plot([1,2],[1,2], title=latexstring("\\textrm{$(replace(V, " " => "~"))}"))

```

worked for this example.

With `pgfplotsx()`

```julia
plot([1,2],[1,2], title=LaTeXString(V))

```

would suffice.

Thank you, I selected your first solution which works well.
