[?] Format a polar equation with TraditionalForm?

Questions
1

All:

My issue is this: I would like to generate r = 2 + 2cos(theta)

However, when I use TraditionalForm[r == 2 + 2 Cos[\[Theta]]], the output switches the RHS of the equation, and I get r = 2cos(theta) + 2.

Other than coding the typography directly, is there a way to prevent the system from switching those two terms in the output?

Thanks for any help!

Try:

 TraditionalForm[HoldForm[r == 2 + 2 Cos[\[Theta]]]]

 (*r==2+2 cos(\[Theta])*)

Fantastic.

Thank you!
