Then, if the number n of arguments is less than 3, it tries to find a handler for the top-level operator of o. If none is found, it checks for a handler of an n-ary operator. If no handler is found, the operator is treated as a function symbol and formatted as such.

Outer parentheses are added if p < prec. This is a special handler that treats the case that a sum is represented as a nary expression that contains unary subexpressions that are unary minus expressions. This handler transforms something like (+ a (- b)) into a - b.

nothing: () -> (Integer, List OutputForm) -> OutputBox

nothing() returns a handler h such that h(prec, args) returns an empty box. This corresponds to NOTHING in OutputForm.

nthRoot: (Integer, (Integer, List OutputForm) -> OutputBox, (Integer, List OutputForm) -> OutputBox) -> (Integer, List OutputForm) -> OutputBox

Format square roots and nth roots. nthRoot(p, h1, h2) returns a handler h such that h(prec, args) formats the first argument according to h1. If there is no second argument, then the nth root is a square root and formatted accordingly. Otherwise the second argument is formatted by h2. Outer parentheses are added if p < prec.

numberOfPrimes: OutputForm -> Integer

numberOfPrimes(e) counts the number of commas in e and returns it. If s does not only contain commas, but has a parenthesis at the beginning and the end of the string, then the part between the parentheses is interpreted as a roman numeral and translated into an integer.
