Topic: Explicit syntax: multi-character \<sub> and \<sup> ?


view this post on Zulip Max Nowak (May 09 2021 at 19:57):

I'm looking to pimp my syntax, turn things such as seq m T n into m \triangleright^{T} n, but by the looks of it whenever T is more than one character, only the first character gets printed in the super position. Is this just a limitation of Isabelle, or can I fix it somehow?

seq m TTTT n sadly is rendered as: grafik.png

Additional side issue: Defining a syntax such as _\<sub>e will render correctly, but will fail to parse when found in code. It looks like Isabelle is trying to parse all of m\<sub>e as one identifier, since doing (m)\<sub>e does seem to work. Context: Nothing hugely important, just trying to make accessors into a triple prettier (e being one of the triple elements).

I guess for now I can just do _!e instead, but that is not as neat :D

\<^bsup>...\<^esup> but I never remember if Isabelle/jEdit can print that....

After checking: Isabelle/jEdit is not able print \<^bsup>...\<^esup> correctly, but \<^bsup>...\<^esup> is how you are supposed to do it for LaTeX output

That is at least a step up from what I had before, so good enough for me, thanks! :)
