 Hello,I am not sure that I am writing to the right person. If not, I appologize, and would appreciate if you could provide me with the correct contact.I am a PhD student in the physics department in the hebrew university in jerusalem, israel. We have a linux system and so we are only using latex and openoffice with hebrew support. Since we work in physics, there are a few things we need to be able to write and cannot using the current equation editor, which seem like a trivial change:We need to be able to write something like " left | a rangle" ,which should give |a>. This is very standard notation in quantum physics, and currently the only way we found to do this was by writing "  divides a > ", which is of course a workaraound.A similar problem arises when trying to write a function with different definitions for different ranges, or when In latex, it is possible to have braces of different kinds (i.e. "\left( ... \right]") or even have an empty brace (i.e "\left."), and in any case rangle and langle should not be limited to being braces.I am attaching a pdf and tex files of these examples in latex.Thank you,   Yishai Shimoni--------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [hidden email] For additional commands, e-mail: [hidden email] =?utf-8?q?test.tex?= (726 bytes) Download Attachment

How about "\lline a \rangle" or "left lline a right rangle"? > > I am attaching a pdf and tex files of these examples in latex. > Sorry, attachments are not allowed (with exceptions like .tex ;-) Regards, Oliver --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [hidden email] For additional commands, e-mail: [hidden email]
