Hi,

what's so special with "gg" in formulas ?

Open Text, insert formula.
Try U_ee, U_ff, U_zz... everthing is fine, but why not U_gg !!! ?-)

"gg" (as "ll") is a reserved text (like "lim" or "in" for the 'is 
element of' operator for example).

If you write
 a gg b ll c 
you'll see what is used for (the operators for much greater and much 
less).

There (for historic reason) are other shortcuts like this for 
example: eq ne lt le

Thus using it in an expression like A_gg it will result in a parse 
error.
You should use 
  A_"gg"
in this case or
  A_{italic "gg"}
if you emphasis is for the cursive text.

And if you use "gg" not as a single variable name you should use
  A_{g g}
to have the identifiers separated.


TL->MRU: To you to confirm and close.

Thank you,  sorry for inconvenience.
Comment 3 lohmaier 2002-10-14 14:49:47 UTC 
Another possibility is to use '%' to escape the special meaning of "gg":
U_%gg
should work like
U_{italic "gg"}
Comment 4 michael.ruess 2002-10-16 11:53:15 UTC 
Yes, reserved expressions like gg shouldn't be used as variable or
index...
