Apparently, when there are consecutive TeXform commands on the same cell separated by carriage return, only the last one produces an output. This does not happen with TraditionalForm. I seem to remember that in previous versions of mathematica this was not the case (I am on 7.0.0, Mac version). Is this a known bug?

TeXForm[a + b]
TeXForm[a/b]
TeXForm[a - b]

a-b

...but

TraditionalForm[a + b]
TraditionalForm[a/b]
TraditionalForm[a - b]

a+b

a/b

a-b

Whether the inconsistency between the output obtained above with
TeXForm and the output obtained when TraditionalForm is used in
the same manner should be considered a bug or not, I'll leave to
others. It does seem to me a more convenient way to getting a
series of TeXForm outputs would be:

In[2]:= TeXForm /@ {a - b, a/b, a + b}

Out[2]= {a-b,\frac{a}{b},a+b}

which clearly does what it should. I see this as more convenient
since it takes several fewer keystrokes to get the desired output.
