278 • Chapter 7: Input and Output7.3 Exporting Whole WorksheetsYou can save your worksheets by choosing Save or Save As from the Filemenu. However, you can also export a worksheet in six other formats: plaintext, Maple text, L A TEX, HTML, HTML with MathML, RTF, and XML,by choosing Export As from the File menu. This allows you to processa worksheet outside Maple.Plain TextTo save a worksheet as plain text, select Export As from the File menu,then Plain Text. In this case, Maple precedes input with a greater-thansign and a space (> ). Maple uses character-based typesetting for specialsymbols like integral signs and exponents, but you cannot export graphicsas text. The following is a portion of a Maple worksheet exported in plaintext format.An Indefinite Integralby Jane MaplefanCalculationLook at the integral Int(x^2*sin(x-a),x);. Notice that itsintegrand, x^2*sin(x-a);, depends on the parameter a;.Give the integral a name so that you can refer to it later.> expr := Int(x^2 * sin(x-a), x);/| 2expr := | x sin(x - a) dx|/The value of the integral is an anti-derivative of theintegrand.> answer := value( % );Maple TextMaple text is specially marked text that retains the worksheet’s distinctionbetween text, Maple input, and Maple output. Thus, you can exporta worksheet as Maple text, send the text file by electronic mail, and therecipient can import the Maple text into a Maple session and regeneratemost of the structure of your original worksheet. When reading or pastingMaple text, Maple treats each line that begins with a Maple prompt anda space (> ) as Maple input, each line that begins with a hash mark and
