I'm trying to get partials to look better in version 3. I've tried all
kinds of tricks, including using the Notation package to do this, but to
no avail so far.
I want a form that currently displays as
h^(0,1) [u,x] to display as \partial_x h[u,x]
where \partial is the del symbol and "_x" means subscript x.
One thing I tried was
h^(a_) [b_] := \partial_a.b h[b]
Matching this to the previous example was to give
a.b = {0,1}.{u,x} = x
Thanks
