Calc will try to guess an appropriate language based on the major mode

in @code{latex-mode}, for example, Calc will set its language to La@TeX{}.
Similarly, Calc will use @TeX{} language for @code{tex-mode},

changing commands (@pxref{Mode Settings in Embedded Mode}). If no
suitable language is available, Calc will continue with its current language.

The mode settings can be changed while Calc is in embedded mode, but
will revert to their original values when embedded mode is ended
(except for the modes changed while the mode-setting mode was

Embedded mode has a rather complicated mechanism for handling mode
settings in Embedded formulas. It is possible to put annotations
in the file that specify mode settings either global to the entire
