SUMMARY
The discussion clarifies the differences between using the delimiters $...$ and $$...$$ in LaTeX. The delimiter $...$ produces a text style (\textstyle), suitable for inline equations, while $$...$$ generates a display style (\displaystyle), which is used for standalone equations. This distinction is crucial for formatting mathematical expressions correctly in documents. The example provided demonstrates the visual difference between the two styles using the limit expression.
