using example as per octave publish webpage:
https://www.gnu.org/software/octave/doc/interpreter/LaTeX-Markup.html#LaTeX-Markup

I actually added a simple assignment at the beginning, otherwise the entire
latex section gets ignored.

see attached file testpub.m and testpub.tex

publish("testpub.m","latex")
generates in testpub.tex which contains incorrect latex for the equation:

e\^{}x = \lim\limits\_{n\rightarrow\infty}\left(1+\dfrac{x}{n}\right)\^{}{n}


above line of code does not compile, it should be:


e^x = \lim\limits_{n\rightarrow\infty}\left(1+\dfrac{x}{n}\right)^{n}
