Discussion Overview
The discussion centers around issues related to the LaTeX command \nmid and its proper rendering in documents. Participants explore the use of various LaTeX packages and their effects on the command's functionality, focusing on both preview and final output.
Discussion Character
- Technical explanation, Debate/contested, Experimental/applied
Main Points Raised
- One participant reports that the \nmid command does not work, despite using several packages including latexsym, amsfonts, amsthm, and amsmath.
- Another participant indicates that the command works correctly in the final PDF output but does not display properly in the preview pane of their editor (LeD).
- A suggestion is made to include the amssymb package to resolve the issue.
- Some participants note that DVI previewers may use different fonts than those used in the final document, which could affect the display of symbols.
- A later reply confirms that adding the amssymb package resolves the issue for them.
Areas of Agreement / Disagreement
Participants express differing experiences with the \nmid command, with some finding it functional in the final output while others encounter issues in the preview. There is no consensus on a single solution, but the addition of the amssymb package is suggested as a potential fix.
Contextual Notes
Limitations include the dependency on specific LaTeX editors and their handling of fonts, as well as the potential for different outputs between preview and final document formats.
