Hi,

I am trying to put a tilde (~) over a character in a text string (with tex interpretation), but can't make it work (i try "\tilder" - to put a tilde over the character 'r'). What syntax exactly should I use?

Thank you,

asaf

Try "\{tilde}r" -- I do not promise that it will work, but \tilder
definitely will not.

tilde isn't in the list of Tex characters in this version, anyway.

Look at the 'String' property under TeX/available characters for any
changes in later versions...

You can't do it at all with the tex interpreter. You will have to use
latex and the syntax is

\tilde{r}

Furthermore, you must be in math mode so the \tilde{r} must appear
between dollar signs (single or double):

'$$ \tilde{r} $$'
