Yeah, I agree that \LaTeX is not the same as the standard typeset \LaTeX, which you’ve displayed. KaTeX (https://katex.org/) gets it right. Maybe it’s because we’re talking about math typesetting here, but this math plugin is giving us italics (i.e., \textit{\LaTeX}).
I always thought if maths was being considered as a programming language, you’d get laughed out the room.
“So, the instructions are… individual symbols? And they can have multiple different meanings (which can change over time). And the meaning is altered depending on position on the page and text size, relative to other symbols? I’m not so sure about this…”
@HIRAM Those last two look like Fourier transforms to me. Your first one is more obscure (from a science point of view), but I believe after some searching the solution sounds pretty nice
Roel, can you post a link for the ignorant like me who haven’t been able to fathom the more obscure formula (whose solution you say sounds pretty nice)?
