I am wondering how i would typeset the parenthesized forward slashes seen below, including the positioning of the surrounding text?

To be honest, i have no idea whether this is a packet feature or whether this is built-in latex. I have skimmed through questions on forward slashes, but none seem to have considered the positioning of the surrounding text.

  • I don't know about the semantics, but \nicefrac{a}{v} inside math mode should do the trick.

\[V_B\zz{a}{v} \]

\end{document}

  • Thank you very much, David. This comes pretty close. Is there an easy way to put a bit more space between text and slash? Otherwise it is great and exactly what i was looking for.

  • @foobar just remove less space, I removed 3mu on the left and 1 on the right but change to whatever you like
