Some LaTeX notes about display styles

by sonone, May 14, 2020, 1:04 AM

There are two ways to display LaTeX. The first is math mode, which is just a piece of LaTeX in a sentence like $\text{this}$ or $\text{this}$ . These a done by putting the code in

$ <code> $ or \( <code> \)

The second way to display LaTeX is in the center like $\text{this}$ or $\text{this}$ It is called display mode and activated thus:

$$<code> $$ or \[ <code> \]

If you have a code that looks good in display mode, and bad in math mode, you can add \displaystyle to the beginning of the code in math mode to make it look like display mode. It's pretty cool

Another option is \textstyle, which makes converts from the display mode to in text mode - I have found this useful on occasion.

@CaptainFlint, I never knew about that! My idea comparing \textstyle and \displaystyle is like comparing the array to tabular. Most users don't know that the tabular environment can't do math mode like array! Naturally it only supports normal text. The way to put equations and the like in the tabular environment you have to add $ $ or  inside the table between the & &, but never overlapping with them.

@G.G.Otto, I know! the place I found it was here (or search "List of BBCodes" in the AoPS WiKi) along with many other cool tags!

[REVIVAL] I will start posting more calculator relating posts very soon. Even though school has been busy, I have been programming my calculators a decent amount, so I have a lot to share...

Could you make more Asymptote lessons on your "How to do Asymptote" blog?
by violin21, Aug 9, 2021, 7:26 PM
You can take it, just C&P the CSS into your CSS area
by sonone, Apr 17, 2021, 10:08 PM
how can we take the CSS if we have permission to not take it?
by GoogleNebula, Apr 17, 2021, 5:22 PM
That is awesome!

I modified your dodecahedron and got:
[asy]
import three;
import solids;
size(300);
currentprojection=orthographic(0,1.3,1.2);
light(0,5,10);

real phi=(sqrt(6)+1)/3;
real g=(phi-1)/2;
real s=1/2;
real a=sqrt(1-phi*phi/4-g*g)+phi/2;

triple[] d;
d[0]=(phi

Not too many, just changing the color here and there. I really like your CSS!
by sonone, Feb 2, 2021, 10:35 AM
Nice!

I see you're making changes to the CSS.

I'm learning Java now!
by sonone, Feb 1, 2021, 5:56 PM
And I took part of it from CaptainFlint and then added a ton of modifications.

fixed $\text{[math]}$
by sonone, Apr 25, 2020, 8:43 PM
Change in progress...
by sonone, Apr 25, 2020, 8:42 PM
When it says "At least 11 users clicked that button" it's incorrect since one person could have just posted 11 times. It should say "At most 11 users click that button".

I can't get the cursor to work.
by G.G.Otto, Apr 25, 2020, 6:38 PM
If the cursor is confusing, where you are actually pointing in a front of the ship
by sonone, Apr 25, 2020, 11:04 AM
It's ok $\text{[math]}$

Sorry I haven't been posting. I've got a Research Paper (for Roman History) due in a week.

You should download it, as it's really useful when learning python. You can find out more here

No. I don't have IDLE.
by sonone, Apr 18, 2020, 7:49 PM
Do you have IDLE installed on your computer? If so, I can give you a couple really cool codes that made that don't work in the AoPS widgets.
by G.G.Otto, Apr 14, 2020, 6:47 AM
I don't know how to change it....
by G.G.Otto, Apr 5, 2020, 5:58 PM
