I have an arrow with some text directly underneath, using the command
\newcommand*{\tautrans}%
{\underset{\scriptstyle \tau^*}{\longrightarrow}}%
Since \tau^*
is not close enough to \longrightarrow
, I changed to
\newcommand*{\tautrans}%
{\underset{\scriptstyle \raisebox{.2em}{\ensuremath{\tau^*}}}{\longrightarrow}}%
Unfortunately, this changes the distance between lines, but not between \tau^*
and \longrightarrow
.
So how can I move \tau^*
a little bit up without moving anything else, so that \tau^*
comes closer to \longrightarrow
?
\underset{\smash{\scriptstyle \tau^*}}{\longrightarrow}

-- that's the default size. including it actually causes the\tau
to be moved down a hair. removing it won't move the\tau
as close as you want, but you should omit\scriptstyle
anyhow. – barbara beeton Jun 1 '13 at 21:24
