Section 5.4 Three Font Styles
There are two font styles that are commonly used in execution groups.
Aside
-
“2D Math” (the default in modern versions)
-
In this mode, mathematical expressions are formatted nicely, as one would write them on paper.
-
Text will appear in
italic, with the exception of common mathematical functions and constants.
-
An example of an expression in 2D Math:
\begin{equation*}
\displaystyle {\frac {{x}^{5}}{{ e}^{x}+\sin \left( x \right) }} \text{.}
\end{equation*}
-
Switch to 2D Math using Ctrl+R.
-
“Maple Input” (the default for old versions)
-
In this mode, mathematical expressions are displayed inline, with no additional formatting.
-
All text is shown in
monospaced font.
-
The above expression in Maple input:
x^5/(exp(x)+sin(x))
-
Switch to Maple Input using Ctrl+M.
Finally, paragraphs use a third style of font.
Aside
-
“Plain Text”
-
In this mode, mathematical expressions are displayed inline, with no additional formatting.
-
All text is shown in a standard font, such as this line.
-
Switch to Plain Text using Ctrl+T.
