This PR removes the
latex_commautility function and updates the docstring for thecommautility function.The
latex_commafunction was originally added in Oct 2020 for use in displaying the Galois groups stats. However, thecommafunction was recently updated in Aug 2025 to include amathmodeargument, which now already puts braces around the commas by default. This therefore makeslatex_commaredundant.This also fixes a small visual bug on the Galois groups index page and on the "Elliptic curves over Q" stats page: the output now correctly uses a single dollar sign from the comma function.
