Hi,
When using function names predefined in LaTeX, such as \sin or \log, the
spacing between the name and variables before or after it (for example in
the expression "x \sin \theta") is correct. However, when using \mathrm or
\textrm to type functions that are not predefined (for example, erf or
sinc), any variables before or after are joined to the function name, with
no spacing at all, so one has to manually add spaces.
Is there a way to define function names such that spaces are automatically
added when needed, like in the predefined ones?
(In Wikipedia, \operatorname is used for this. However, I tried it in LyX
and it doesn't seem to work.)
Thanks,
Barak
