function strout = mktex(strin);
%MKTEX   Make char string into valid LaTeX string.
%
% strout = mktex(strin)
%
% Replaces following in string strin:
%
% '\'  becomes '\\'
% '_'  becomes '\_'
% '^'  becomes '\^'
%
% such that strout can be used as a LaTeX name, as in 
% TITLE of XLABEL for instance, without having to 
% put the interpeter property to off to avoid interpretation
% into sub- and supertext.
%
% See also: ISLETTER, MKVAR, MKHTML
