Why do you write things like {{f}_{n}} in TeX instead of just f_n? Or \underset{n\to\infty}{\mathop{\lim}} instead of \lim_{n\to\infty} ? \lim is already a standard operator name, and when it appears in a "displayed" as opposed to "inline" setting, its subscripts appear directly below it, without the need to use "underset". (Similarly with \sup.) Is there some account of TeX on the web somewhere that says things should be done that way? Michael Hardy (talk) 06:51, 20 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, I am using Mathtype which automatically produces these kinds of things. Guess I'll have to learn Tex ! Oldtimermath (talk) 23:31, 20 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I'm too old to learn TeX. Have to stick with MathType. Sorry.Oldtimermath (talk) 23:31, 16 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

With regard to the unidentified editor's comments, I guess I am psychotic. Sorry about that. Oldtimermath (talk) 04:30, 6 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
