How to merely show an expression rather running it?

Questions
1

When I used the command “Integrate”, it ran a long time, but it didn’t get any result yet.
So I just want the expression to be showed out rather than running it for saving time.
Would you like to tell me how to realize it?
Thanks in advance.

Will this do what you want?

HoldForm[Integrate[x^2,{x,1,3}]]+Sin[z]

If the integrand is complicated, and it needs to be written out firstly and then it will be integrated.
If I have done as you suggested, it would be

In[85]:= eq1 = -A6 (1/(Sqrt[\[Pi]] Sqrt[t]) - 
    A8 E^(A8^2 t) Erfc[A8 Sqrt[t]]) Erfc[A7/(2 Sqrt[-t + T])]

Out[85]= -A6 (1/(Sqrt[\[Pi]] Sqrt[t]) - 
   A8 E^(A8^2 t) Erfc[A8 Sqrt[t]]) Erfc[A7/(2 Sqrt[-t + T])]

In[87]:= eq2 = HoldForm[Integrate[eq1, {t, 0, T}]]

Out[87]= \!\(
TagBox[
RowBox[{
SubsuperscriptBox["\[Integral]", "0", "T"], 
RowBox[{"eq1", 
RowBox[{"\[DifferentialD]", "t"}]}]}],
HoldForm]\)

which is not what I wanted.
What I wanted is

\!\(
\*SubsuperscriptBox[\(\[Integral]\), \(0\), \(T\)]\(\(\(-A6\)\ \((
\*FractionBox[\(1\), \(
\*SqrtBox[\(\[Pi]\)]\ 
\*SqrtBox[\(t\)]\)] - A8\ 
\*SuperscriptBox[\(E\), \(
\*SuperscriptBox[\(A8\), \(2\)]\ t\)]\ Erfc[A8\ 
\*SqrtBox[\(t\)]])\)\ Erfc[
\*FractionBox[\(A7\), \(2\ 
\*SqrtBox[\(\(-t\) + T\)]\)]]\) \[DifferentialD]t\)\)

Hi Zhonghui,

Try this

Integrate[eq1, {t, 0, T}] // Inactivate

As Rohit has shown Inactivate does what Zhonghui asked for. But Inactive does not. What is the difference between the two functions? Lets check the documentation:

Inactivate

Inactivate[expr] replaces all instances of f with Inactive[f] for
symbols f used as heads in expr.

Inactive

Inactive[f] is an inactive form of f.

Well, the difference between Inactivate and Inactive is not easy to understand

Yes, it works now and it doesn’t waste time on the operation without result.

In[278]:= eq56 = (eq54 /. {t -> \[Tau]})*(eq55 /. {t -> t - \[Tau]}) //
    Simplify // Normal

Out[278]= B10 (-B6 + (2 E^(-(B6^2/(4 \[Tau]))) Sqrt[\[Tau]])/
   Sqrt[\[Pi]] + 
   B6 Erf[B6/(2 Sqrt[\[Tau]])]) (-(1/(Sqrt[\[Pi]] Sqrt[t - \[Tau]])) +
    B7 E^(B7^2 (t - \[Tau])) Erfc[B7 Sqrt[t - \[Tau]]])

In[279]:= eq57 = Integrate[eq56, {\[Tau], 0, t}] // Inactivate

Out[279]= 
Inactive[Integrate][
 B10 (-B6 + (2 E^(-(B6^2/(4 \[Tau]))) Sqrt[\[Tau]])/Sqrt[\[Pi]] + 
    B6 Erf[B6/(2 Sqrt[\[Tau]])]) (-(1/(
     Sqrt[\[Pi]] Sqrt[t - \[Tau]])) + 
    B7 E^(B7^2 (t - \[Tau])) Erfc[B7 Sqrt[t - \[Tau]]]), {\[Tau], 0, 
  t}]
