SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on the LaTeX code for representing the upper sum in mathematical notation. Key examples provided include the code for summation, \sum_{j \in J}, and the supremum notation, \underset{x \in B_j}{sup}. Additionally, an alternative formatting option using [FONT=courier new] is mentioned, which changes the appearance of the supremum symbol to Roman type. The contributions from users Dan and Peter clarify the correct syntax for these mathematical expressions.

PREREQUISITES

Is this what you want?
\sum_{j \in J} --> [math]\sum_{j \in J}[/math]

and
\underset{x \in B_j} {sup} -->[math]\underset{x \in B_j} {sup}[/math]

-Dan
 
Alternatively, \sup_{x\in B_j} --> $\displaystyle \sup_{x\in B_j}$. (The symbol for sup then appears in Roman type rather than italics.)
 
My thanks to Dan and Opalg …
