In contrast to \texttt{typewriter}
normal text is "connected". When using a forward slash, I get for y/.
this:
while I would like to get something like that:
which can be accomplished by y$\!$/$\!$.
, but this is brute-force. Is there a better way to tell LaTeX to "connect" the forward slash with the adjacent characters?
(For fractions there is \sfrac
of the xfrac package, but I do not want to typeset fractions here.)
MWE:
\documentclass{minimal}
\begin{document}
y/.
y$\!$/$\!$.
\end{document}
