Formulae and Examples

Formulae in text: Sigma=(S,TF,PF,P), TF_w,s n PF_w,s = Ø, w e S^* when w=s₁...s_n, s₁^M×···×s_n^M, h_s:s^M₁ -> s^M₂, M_i e Mod(Sigma'), f x y, or displayed:

diff =/= diff

Simple equations with numbers:

x+(y+z)=(x+y)+z  

Symbols (approximated when converted to HTML):

Greek letters:

All but \ and µ get spelled out when converted to HTML, e.g., Sigma sigma.

Math fonts:

Roman Italic Boldface Calligraphic.

Binary operation symbols:

a+b-c×d/e÷f, g ° h · i, j n k u l \ m,
n |¯| o |_| p, q \/ r /\ s, t (+) u (×) v (/) w

Relation symbols:

A < B = C > D : E := F, G < H =/= I > J, K « L = M » N,
O C P C Q [ R e S, T |- U -| V |= W  |  X | Y || Z, 1 ~ 2 ~ 3 ~~ 4

Arrow symbols:

a <- b <= c -> d => e <-> f <=> g |-> h,
i <-- j --> k <--> l <== m ==> n <==> o ~> p

Miscellaneous symbols:

Ø ¯|¯ _|_ || forall exist ¬ # \

Delimiters:

(A) [B] {C} |_D_| |¯E¯| <F> /G\ |H||

Punctuation:

0, 1.2: 3 -> 4; 5?6!7"8`9...@···.

Stacking:

x^2y, x^y2, x^y₁, x_2y, x^y₁, x₁^y, A <=> ^a' B =^def C

Examples with a mixture of verbatim and symbols:

Spaces   and newlines
      are significant
but use of other fonts and symbols  -->  may spoil alignment

Miscellaneous

A cross-reference to Section X, item 4, Figure 4, Table 4, equation 4, page X. 

A hyper-reference to the CoFI Home Page.

A citation of a paper, CoFI notes, or FTP-able document [Mos97].

An index entry, perhaps with an explicit sort-key. 

Including separate files, and prepending them to a document?

Using standard LaTeX packages?

Defining abbreviations for commands and environments (in the preamble)?

For further LaTeX commands and environments (e.g. pictures, special symbols) see the LaTeX user's guide and reference manual [Lam94]. Some may give rise to (bulky) images when converted to HTML--consult Peter D. Mosses for advice on such matters.

N.B. Try to avoid all use of lengths, counters, boxes, changes of page-styles, and further fonts (e.g., Sans Serif, blackboard bold).
