 |
|
Hi,
In the following MATH code, the underline - which is intended for the %chi only - extends beyond the consecutive characters.
Is it a (minor) bug or is there something I should have done differently?
| Code: | E(underline{%chi}^{2}=1)
Var(underline{%chi}^{2}_{[v]})=2v |
In case you're wondering, the formulas belong to Chi-square-tests in the field of mathematical statistics.

Use grouping to specify explicitly that the underline is for the chi only, without the "attached" super-/subscripts, like so:
| Code: | E({underline %chi}^{2}=1)
Var({underline %chi}^{2}_{[v]})=2v |
Note that you can also omit the curly brackets around single elements:
| Code: | E({underline %chi}^2=1)
Var({underline %chi}^2_[v])=2v |
The curly brackets are for grouping multiple elements, and are sometimes useful for specifying an empty group: "{}". Normally, grouping a single element is not very useful. |

Aha,
I was looking at underline{ } as a function(), be it with curly brackets.
New insights in the MATH syntax .
Thanks. |
