Notice the subtlety. The first example on the site is:
sum_(i=1)^n i^3=((n(n+1))/2)^2
To render this in LateX as it is shown would be
\sum_{i = 0}^n i^3 = \bigg( \frac{n(n+1)}{2} \bigg)^2
No fracts, just "/", no parenthesis enlarging with "\bigg", no slashes or brackets.
Looks pretty nice :-)
- milesrout 10y agoNone of those things are difficult. And don't say 'no slashes or brackets'. Swapping `\sum_{..}` for `sum_(..)` isn't reducing the number of brackets, and in fact I find the top harder to read as it has more of just one type of bracket.
- coldtea 10y ago>None of those things are difficult. But all of these things distract from the main task. And you also have to learn LaTeX, which many might not care for.
- Smaug123 10y agoOne may use \left( and \right) to get automatically-sized brackets.
- andrepd 10y agoWhat's more, you can use a package like \usepackage{physics} which includes several convenience macros like \qty( [...] ) as a shorthand to \left( [...] \right). To go yet another step further, define something like \newcommand{\p}{\qty} to shorten the notation to simply dropping a \p before your delimiters to autosize them.
