That's how it looks like in Maple 2026.0 for the Examples on the Help-page for topic solve, on Windows 11

For a fraction of a second I see output rendered in blue and Math-2D. Then it turns to the above.

Is this a regression or a new feature? How to get the output back to Math-2D and blue?

In the Maple 2025 release, the "old/former" user interface was provided under a menu entry called "Maple 2025 for Screen Readers". I used this version because of shortcommings of the new ribbon interface. Some of the shortcommings have been fixed in the 2026 release but it is still slow to use (I am missing functions in the quick access toolbar that I frequently use and no customization of the bar seems possible).

I could not find a similar menu entry in the 2026 release under Windows 11. Is the old unser interface still available?

Example: For

ex:=(a+b*c)^2

I would like to get the following output

[`^`, [`+`, [`*`, b, c], a], 2]

I am mainly looking for "elegant" code (short but understandable).

If a one-liner is doable, which I doubt, I would be interested as well.

Instead of

if not(type(expr,atomic))...

I would like to use something like that for better readabilty

if type(expr,composite)...

where "composite" is a placeholder for beeing not atomic.

Just for my understanding:

I have read ?procedure and noticed that the term variable is used as a synonym for the term name.

Otherwise Maple uses the term variable more in a mathematical sense and the term name to refer to an expression.

Is this to make the help page easier to read or to use jargon familiar from other programming languages?

This use of vocabulary must be intentional. However I do not fully understand this subtle difference.
