Hello,
I'm trying to format a formula of the form:
{ y if y > 0
x = {
{ z + y otherwise
(see bottom p. 47 of Leslie Lamport's Latex book (2nd ed).)
Although I can manage to insert an \mbox in math mode, I can't
put any (normal) spaces in it. I have tried other sorts of spaces,
however the only ones that I managed to get to work where \, and these
were too large.
I have resorted, for the moment, to inserting the entire formula in
tex mode. I believe also that a macro defined in the preamble would
also work. However, both of these solutions are not very nice (I
currently prefer the former).
Is there a way to do this with the math editor that I'm just not seeing?
Thanks, James
