Discussion Overview

The discussion focuses on how to label the arrows in the symbol $\rightleftharpoons$ similarly to how labels are applied in $\xleftarrow[y]{x}$. Participants explore various methods for achieving this in LaTeX.

Discussion Character

  • Technical explanation

Main Points Raised

  • One participant asks how to label both sides of the $\rightleftharpoons$ symbol, referencing the labeling style of $\xleftarrow[y]{x}$.
  • Another participant suggests using $\underset{y}{\overset{x}{\rightleftharpoons}}$ as a potential solution.
  • A third participant proposes $\underset{y}{\overset{x}{\longleftrightarrow}}$ and notes that it produces the expected output.
  • A fourth participant mentions the use of $\mathop{\rightleftharpoons}\limits^x_y$ as another option for labeling.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants present multiple methods for labeling the $\rightleftharpoons$ symbol, but there is no consensus on a single preferred approach.

Contextual Notes

Some methods may depend on specific LaTeX packages or environments, and the effectiveness of each approach may vary based on the context in which it is used.

So I am trying to use $ \rightleftharpoons $ but I want to label both pieces like $\xleftarrow[y]{x}$.

How can I do this?

Maybe $\underset{y}{\overset{x}{\rightleftharpoons}}$ ?

\underset{y}{\overset{x}{\longleftrightarrow}} gives $\underset{y}{\overset{x}{\longleftrightarrow}}$
 
Also $\mathop{\rightleftharpoons}\limits^x_y$.
