Some Miscellaneous LaTeX
Note, if you’re converting directly to pdf, then you can put in raw LaTeX commands anywhere.
When converting to html, LaTeX commands can only go in
$...$ and $$...$$.
Some misc syntax:
\mathcal{E} % for EMF, like U+0190 Ɛ
N$\cdot$m % N·m
360$^{\circ}$ % degree sign
V_{\text{back}} % text in subscript
% If you want equations to be numbered, rather than
% using $$a = b + c$$, use:
\begin{equation}
a = b + c
\end{equation}
% align equations (centered, aligned on =)
$$\begin{align}
a &= b + c\\
a^2+b^2 &= c^2\\
\theta &= 2\pi
\end{align}$$
% larger parens (auto-sized)
\left( \frac{2\pi\;\text{rad}}{1\;\text{rev}} \right)
\to % same as \rightarrow
\boxed{a = b} % box an equation
\mathbf{v} % vector
\mathbf{\hat{x}} % unit vector
\overline{v}
2.5 \times 10^{-4} % scientific notationWhen going straight to pdf, these might be useful:
\pagenumbering{gobble} % at top of document
