Hi,
in Mathematica 4 I have a long expression containing symbols like 'vp1'.
This expression is to be included into an LaTeX-Document, in which I
liked 'vp1' to be used as 'v_{\shortparallel 1}'.
I therefore tried things like
Format[vp1, TeXForm] = "v_{\shortparallel 1}";
vp1 // TeXForm
but this unfortunatly returned
v\_{\shortparallel 1}
including an unwanted backslash. WHY ?
I also tried definitions like
x1 = Subscript[x,1];
x1 // TeXForm
which works fine within this easy example, but fails whenever I try to
include something with '\shortparallel'.
What do I do wrong ?
Many thanks in advance, and with kind regards,
Christian Vitt !
