I’m `using Latexify` in Pluto and running `@latexrun x = something`, which assigns `something` to `x` and returns a `LaTeXString` – which looks great. The problem is, Pluto identifies this as an assignment, and prints an extra `@latexrun x =` above the result.
For pure vanity reasons, is there something that can be done to suppress this LHS, temporarily or otherwise?
## Example:
What I want is to get rid of the `@latexrun U_p =` in the top left corner.

This might not be the solution you need, but the solution… well at least the solution I could come up with:

That’s pretty good. I thought Pluto would be angry about the multiple expressions thing.

Using “…”:
```julia
@latexrun "U_p = 3*E_max^2"
```
This is very cool, I didn’t know that it existed. Thanks!

They’re in the same cell though! You can redefine expressions to your heart’s content as long as you keep it within a cell.

But
```julia
x=3
x
```
errors out (within a cell). It’s interesting that this is not equivalent to
```julia
x=3;x
```

That’s because multi-line cells need `begin/let ... end` - I’m not that deep into Pluto’s internals, but ultimately it’s just a plain .jl file which needs to be split into cells automatically by Pluto’s parser - if it’s multiple lines you have to explicitly tell Pluto that it’s one statement, while as long as it’s on one line I guess Pluto will assume it’s one statement.

Alternatively you can wrap whatever expression you have in a `begin/end` block and Pluto will stop showing the name of the variable.
