{{DISPLAYTITLE: How do I typeset functions and operators, such as max or det, that Math does not know about?}} <section begin=question/> '''How do I typeset functions, such as max, det, that ''Math'' does not know about?''' <section end=question/> <section begin=answer/> ''Math'' has a number of standard functions built-in, such as cos, log etc. These functions are typeset in an upright shape according to typographical traditions. To typeset other functions this way you can simply preceed the function with<font color="brown">''' func'''</font>. Example:<br> To typeset max(''a,b'') you should enter<font color="brown">''' func max(a,b)'''</font>. If you want to use ''max'' as an operator, like ''lim'', you can use csub to get a centered subscript: <font color="brown">''' func max csub {x in S} f(x)</font>. <section end=answer/> [[Category:Documentation/FAQ/Formula]]
