Sorry but but i mixed calcmath and asciimath but nevertheless you should look
at the source where you can find the hint that \times is produced with “xx” as input.

Wolfgang

there are 3 math operators which can be “times”:
“·”, “×” and “∗” (not “*”)

which of it is it? i am confused by your “x”es and other stuff *shudder* (modern linux systems have useful keyboard layouts to input these)

Asciimath:

    ["xx"]    = "\\times ",

Calcmath:

                        elseif how == '*' then
                            texprint("\\times")

These are the relevant parts from the asciimath and calcmath sources,
to get the output “3 \times 3 = 9” in TeX you have to type with
asciimath “3 xx 3 = 9” and with calcmath “3 * 3 = 9”.
