LaTeX packages required edit
The description the appropriate string to show a concept in Tex or Latex leaves a lot of room for interpretation. One should modell the required TeX packages at least. For texvc compatible \LaTeX expression this is already implementd in the npm package texvcinfo.
$ curl -d "q=\color{blue}{\reals}" math.beta.wmflabs.org:10042/texvcinfo
{"texvcinfo":{"success":true,"checked":"\\color {blue}{\\mathbb {R} }",
"requiredPackages":["ams","color"],"identifiers":["\\mathbb{R}"]}}
Should the datatype be changed to Mathematical expression edit
MathTexLearner suggested in https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Property_proposal/rendered_TeX_string that it would be useful to have a property to store rendered Tex string. Currently, this property exists for storing the tex equivalent without having it rendered.

- I'm not aware of a possibility to change the datatype from string to TeX? What leads you to believe this is possible? --- Jura 12:54, 6 September 2020 (UTC)
- From past discussions on changing datatypes, it's my impression that changing a datatype is basically about manually changing a field in a database. That allows for changes where the datatype has the same underlying structure in the database (string->external ID) but not (string->item). Internally Mathematical expression is a string, so this should work. ChristianKl ❪✉❫ 15:23, 6 September 2020 (UTC)
- Have you ever tried to query the string of a "mathematial expression"? --- Jura 15:35, 6 September 2020 (UTC)
- I agree with @ChristianKl: this should be converted to Math. @Jura1: please enlighten us how is Math so much different from String? I'd even argue for a more radical change, see next --Vladimir Alexiev (talk) 12:48, 1 June 2021 (UTC)
- I'm not aware that math datatype can be queried on Query Service. For string, it's quite simple. But maybe I just don't know how to .. --- Jura 14:17, 1 June 2021 (UTC)

IMHO all of TeX string (P1993), quantity symbol (LaTeX) (P7973), title in LaTeX (P6835) mean the same: the name of something in TeX/LaTeX. They have some specific applicability notes, but IMHO are easy to unify --Vladimir Alexiev (talk) 12:48, 1 June 2021 (UTC)
- TeX string (P1993) applies to anything and takes TeX or LaTeX
- quantity symbol (LaTeX) (P7973) applies to quantities
- title in LaTeX (P6835) applies to papers and says Enclose normal text with "\text{" and "}" but the same should apply in any case you mix text and math

- I think you might confuse datatype (or value format) with scope. --- Jura 14:14, 1 June 2021 (UTC)
