## make latex() generate y'(x) for diff(y(x),x) ?...

I know the latex() command in Maple have many issues and I have no hope of what I will ask having a solution, but thought to ask any way.

Is there a way to make maple generate the latex for all the derivatives to use ' instead of d/dx ?

for example, given this

ode:=diff(y(x),x)=x;
latex(ode,output=string);


The Latex generated (which is correct) is

{\frac {\rm d}{{\rm d}x}}y \left( x \right) =x

but sometines I find it more readable if the latex was

y'(x)=x

which is more common in textbooks and other places. The problem also is that I am using worksheet so can't use  y'(x) as input.

But even switching to document mode, and writing it 2D math as input, the Latex output still does not match the input

So if there is a solution to this, would it require changing the latex() command itself? or can it be done at user level?

I'd like all orders of derivatives anywhere in the equation to come out as y'' etc.. so diff(y(x),x\$3) should generate the latex y'''(x) and so on.

Is there a trick to do this?
