Further, in-text single-letter variables that permeate mathematical
writing, and I think everyone would agree that $k$ reads well. Alas, as
soon as one needs to write

If you're a LaTeX user, you're already using LaTeX3 to a very high
extent, even if you don't see it. The current idea is not to replace
LaTeX2e with LaTeX3 as a new version, but to gradually incorporate
elements of LaTeX3 into the

$g=\lim_{\delta m\to 0}(\delta F/\delta m)$
with
Hi
to add my two cents. I am latex user of _many_ years (as user of emacs +
org), and I use it often for math-loaded texts.
I do use $ (I actually did not even know that \( \) is (supposed to be)

As for $$ (or \[), I basically don't use it. I use
Hi,
With respect to readability, I only mean to point out that the $…$
syntax is one less character, and that the \(\) characters are quite
overloaded.
this is a good opportunity to point out that $/$$ are very much second
class citizens in LaTeX now, no matter what you may see in old
Hi Sebastien,
Thanks for your comments, and your thoughts on the proposed deprecation.
It’s worth explicitly considering why we wouldn’t want to steer people away from
