Letter styles and accents

How does it work ?

It works pretty well. More precisely, the style and accent related commands are all build on the same scheme :

  1. the LaTeX classical backslash,
  2. the adequate prefix (see below),
  3. the desired character (for instance A for small "a", or KK for big "K"), or a greek letter.

For instance :

  • \bbRR produces the black board style "R", commonly used for the set of real numbers;
  • \bbCC for the set of complex numbers;
  • \vecV for vector "v";
  • \hatalpha for an "alpha" with a hat;
  • \barH for a "h" with a bar.

Styles

Enabled with the option +maths.characterStyles. The avaible styles are :

  • bb: black board, it is recommended to use the option bbStyle = bbold to use this style on lower case characters;
  • bf: bold;
  • cal: calligraphy;

  • rm: roman;
  • sf: sans serif.
