Letter types

"English" symbols and numbers

Yes, most of the English alphabet is pinched from Latin, but these 26 letters are the English alphabet.

Type Alphabet Numbers Comment
Normal
[ilmath]abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz[/ilmath]
[ilmath]0123456789[/ilmath]
[ilmath]ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ[/ilmath]
Blackboard
\mathbb{letters}
[ilmath]\mathbb{abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz} [/ilmath]
[ilmath]\mathbb{0123456789} [/ilmath] A shame, because a black-board style [ilmath]1[/ilmath] would be a great indicator function
[ilmath]\mathbb{ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ} [/ilmath]
Text
\text{letters}
[ilmath]\text{abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz} [/ilmath]
[ilmath]\text{0123456789} [/ilmath]
[ilmath]\text{ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ} [/ilmath]
Script
[ilmath]\mathscr{abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz} [/ilmath]
[ilmath]\mathscr{0123456789} [/ilmath] Remember it as "scribble" \mathscr{letter} . Warning:Some letters can be difficult to identify, for example [ilmath]\mathscr{I} [/ilmath] - a J right? Wrong - an I
[ilmath]\mathscr{ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ} [/ilmath]
Calligraphic
\mathcal{letter}
[ilmath]\mathcal{abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz} [/ilmath]
[ilmath]\mathcal{0123456789} [/ilmath] Notice the posh numbers
[ilmath]\mathcal{ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ} [/ilmath]
Fraktur
\mathfrak{letters}
[ilmath]\mathfrak{abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz} [/ilmath]
[ilmath]\mathfrak{0123456789} [/ilmath] Gothic style letters, probably something German involved to get the "frak". Notice the numbers too! Warning:This font is VERY easy to bugger up, for example [ilmath]\mathfrak{A} [/ilmath] looks like a funky [ilmath]U[/ilmath], certainly not a funky [ilmath]A[/ilmath]!
[ilmath]\mathfrak{ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ} [/ilmath]
Roman
\mathrm{letters}
[ilmath]\mathrm{abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz} [/ilmath]
[ilmath]\mathrm{0123456789} [/ilmath] Pretty sure this is the same as \text above.
[ilmath]\mathrm{ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ} [/ilmath]
Bold
\mathbf{letters}
[ilmath]\mathbf{abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz} [/ilmath]
[ilmath]\mathbf{0123456789} [/ilmath] Pretty sure it's "math bold font". Also who has ever gone "you know what, I want a bold 7" in a formula. Yet there's no blackboard-style 1. World is a crazy place.
[ilmath]\mathbf{ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ} [/ilmath]

Extra English letters

Letter Display Comment
ell
[ilmath]\ell[/ilmath]
Lowercase "l" that looks more like it does in my handwriting. Useful to distinguish [ilmath]\ell^p[/ilmath], [ilmath]l^p[/ilmath] and [ilmath]L^p[/ilmath]

Greek alphabet

Letter Display Uppercase Display Var-form Display Comment
alpha
[ilmath]\alpha[/ilmath]
No var or upper forms

TODO: Finish, eg [ilmath]\phi[/ilmath], [ilmath]\Phi[/ilmath] and [ilmath]\varphi[/ilmath] - all phi - ANOTHER ONE [ilmath]\rho[/ilmath] and [ilmath]\varrho[/ilmath] - ANOTHER ONE: [ilmath]\epsilon[/ilmath] and [ilmath]\varepsilon[/ilmath]



OLD GUIDE

Maths

To get maths (LaTeX) use:

<math>Maths here</math>
[math]Maths here[/math]
{{M|Maths here}}

Diagrams

<math>\require{AMScd}
\begin{CD}
A @<a <b< B\\
@VVV @VVV\\
C @= D
\end{CD}</math>

Produces:

[math] \require{AMScd} \begin{CD} A @<a <b< B\\ @VVV @VVV\\ C @= D \end{CD}[/math]

NOTE: the < were written and-sign-l-t-semicolon, see http://www.jmilne.org/not/Mamscd.pdf for reference

You can use the:

{{Extra Maths}} template

to bring the symbols in.

There are also the following templates:

[math]\begin{CD}
A {{CD Left Arrow|A|B}} B {{CD Hoz Eq|A|B}} E\\
{{CD Down Arrow|A|B}} {{CD Up Arrow|A|B}} {{CD Vert Eq|A|B}}\\
C {{CD Right Arrow|Top|Bottom}} D {{CD No Arrow}} F
\end{CD}[/math]

Produces:

[math]\begin{CD} A @< A <B < B @= E\\ @V A VB V @A { A }A{ B } A @|\\ C @> Top >Bottom > D @. F \end{CD}[/math]

as follows:

Name Parameters
Template:CD Up Arrow 2 - left, right
Template:CD Down Arrow 2 - left, right
Template:CD Left Arrow 2 - top, bottom
Template:CD Right Arrow 2 - top, bottom
Template:CD Vert Eq (none)
Template:CD Hoz Eq (none)
Template:CD No Arrow (none)
