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.
Another possibility is to use '%' to escape the special meaning of "gg": U_%gg should work like U_{italic "gg"}
Yes, reserved expressions like gg shouldn't be used as variable or index...
