Not knowing this is the source of many ill-looking papers out there, so this could be a great opportunity to show the difference between using $var$ and $\mathit $ â thus showing how to properly typeset multiletter variables. Space left in-between exists because writing (e.g.) $var$ actually means âv times a times râ. Thanks for letting me know, appreciate it! Itâs fixed. Instead of using eqnarray and array you should use the macros from amsmath, align and cases Can you see the difference? Share this: Related Post navigation Leave a Reply Cancel reply
See User Guide for the amsmath Package for more details on the amsmath package.įor multi-letter variables in math mode, use \mathit to omit whitespace in-between letters. Any whitespace is added in ânormal textâ mode since math mode ignores it. Here is another example where switching to normal text is desirable. Taking a closer look at the first two characters of âfractionâ in math mode shows that LaTeX assigns them more space, giving the word a somewhat unnatural appearance. Normal text can be added no matter which math mode you are using.Ĭonsider the following descriptive illustration of the fraction notation, first in math mode and below in ânormal textâ. There is a simple way to add ânormal textâ fragments in math mode.Īlternatively, using the amsmath package: In certain cases it may be desirable to include ânormal textâ within an equation. Letters are printed in italics, with more space left in-between, spaces are ignored. The font type LaTeX uses in math mode is somewhat special since it is optimized for writing mathematical formulas.
