I recently registered `LAlatex.jl` v1.0.0 and am working on the next round of improvements. I’d appreciate feature requests from people using Julia for linear algebra in notebooks, teaching, examples, or generated LaTeX.

Repo: [GitHub - ea42gh/LAlatex.jl: convert julia objects to latex representations, render in jupyter notebooks. Focus on Linear Algebra matrices, etc · GitHub](https://github.com/ea42gh/LAlatex.jl)

`LAlatex.jl` provides `L_show(...)` for pastable LaTeX strings and `l_show(...)` for notebook display.  
It focuses on rendering linear-algebra objects and expressions: matrices, vectors, block arrays, sets, linear combinations, cases, aligned derivations, and symbolic entries.

Recent development since v1.0.0 has focused on hardening existing capabilities, expanding documentation and tests, and adding equation tags/labels and set-builder notation.

What helpers or output patterns would make `LAlatex.jl` more useful for linear algebra notebooks?

I’ve added a live Binder demo for LAlatex.jl at [GitHub - ea42gh/LAlatex.jl: convert julia objects to latex representations, render in jupyter notebooks. Focus on Linear Algebra matrices, etc · GitHub](https://github.com/ea42gh/LAlatex.jl),  
touring L\_show/l\_show, lc, set, cases, aligned, tags/labels, symbolic options, and block-matrix formatting.
