I am writing a document which contains a lot of half-integer indices.
In display mode, x_{i + \frac {1} {2}}
looks fine.
However, in inline mode, having several x_{i + \frac {1} {2}}
messes up the interline spacing. x_{i + 1/2}
looks fine, though.
I would like a command that allows switching between both:
- x_{i + \frac {1} {2}}
when in display mode,
- x_{i + 1/2}
when in inline mode.
I tried playing around with the answer from this question, but could not get it to work properly in my case. Any ideas?
\everymath{..}
and activating a bool, for instance. Or making_
active and hooking a bool in there.x_{i + 1/2}
when you are in inline math? First, these are fewer letters to type thanx_{i + \frac{1}{2}}
and second there is no autodetection for inline math mode, which means you will very soon hit corner cases.\iph
to representi + \frac {1} {2}
. My question probably was not clear enough: I would like to replace the\frac
in the previous expression by a command that automatically chooses which fraction expression to display. However, since there is no autodetection for inline math mode, it would be hard to get such a behavior...
