Add common string to LaTeX string as legend name

Hi @zxdawn,

Right now LaTeX typesetting is preformed on the entire string, not on individual subsets so the \text approach is the best way as far as I know.

For cases where you only need special characters and super/subscripts, you could also use HTML formatting. For example, the HTML code for the “plus minus” symbol is ± (See https://www.toptal.com/designers/htmlarrows/math/plus-or-minus-sign/). So you could specify these strings as

name='± ' + a

Hope that helps!
