From: Assaf Weinstein on 15 Jun 2010 12:30 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

What syntax exactly should I use? Try "\{tilde}r" -- I do not promise that it will work, but \tilder definitely will not.

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

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): '$$ \tilde{r} $$' -- Doug Schwarz dmschwarz&ieee,org Make obvious changes to get real email address. |
