Researcher in quantum information --- involving algebras over finite dimensional Hilbert spaces, graphs and combinatorics, and vector spaces over ℤ/pℤ.

I habitually edit and re-edit anything I write, as long as I have the time, interest, and ability. I should probably apologize for this tendency, but you will probably have to be satisfied with being warned about it instead.

comment Proper way to format text when not using a lot of math
Could you give an example? If you just mean "a document containing a lot of prose with only a few simple equations", then you don't have to worry about \text. (The \text macro is mostly for when you want to do things such as insert a little bit of prose into some mathematics.)

How big a difference would you like between the first letter and the rest?

comment Is there an equivalent to “big pi” for tensor products?
+1. This notation is standard in the quantum information community.

comment Automatic line break for writing context-free grammars?
@stefan.at.wpf: if you want to avoid the almost-solid-line, you can increase the vertical spacing in the grammar using basicstyle=\itshape\setstretch{1.3} and the setspace package.

comment Should using spaces in math mode be a common thing?
I use spacing in my maths absolutely all the time, without apology. Mathematics is information-dense text, and you may wish to emphasize particular structures in that text in a way that simply cannot be gotten at using generic (however aesthetically pleasing) typesetting practice. Just be consistent with your spacing practise so that people can parse your expressions the same way throughout your paper... and don't go completely crazy with your spacing (subtle is good).
