TeXForm doesn't seem to evaluate

[light-matters]

(eval (w/TeXForm (w/Power 'x 100)))

should result in a TeX string but doesn't seem to evaluate. There's no error but the expression is just returned literally.

I think this is resolved. If I do

(eval (w/ToString (w/TeXForm (w/Power 'x 100)))

then I get the expected result:

"x^{100}"

.

I believe that this is something to do with how Wolfram deals with different types of display "Form". My crude way of understanding it is that Wolfram doesn't see the need to evaluate this any further outside of the UI. Maybe we should ask for details from the Wolfram guys? (@holyjak )
