SUMMARY
This discussion provides a solution for creating an inexact differential in LaTeX by defining a custom macro. The macro is defined as \def\dbar{{\mathchar'26\mkern-12mu d}} and can be used to render the inexact differential symbol. Reference is made to page 91 of the Comprehensive LaTeX Symbol List available at CTAN for additional context.
