Unicode vs. LaTeX math
I see in recent edits that you are converting Unicode math to LaTeX. Please don't do that, at least without strong reasons or some discussion on the talk page. Some editors, such as myself, prefer Unicode because it is easier to cut and paste. The LaTeX math doesn't paste as well on my system and/or requires a bunch of after-paste clean up. Yes, LaTeX looks better sometimes. I tend to let stand what other editors have done; thus respecting the priorities and aesthetic that the other editors have chosen. I tend to avoid switching between the two forms of math unless:
- If the article is exclusively one or the other form of math, except for a recent edit, I might "fix" the recent edit to comply with the general pattern.
- Sometimes Unicode rendering is to be avoided because it requires blackboard-bold characters and/or fonts that not every web browser supports, so use LaTeX for those characters.
- Yes, there are other cases where compelling reasons exist. But please don't make the switch simply from your personal preference.
This isn't any sort of guideline that you must follow; it is simply a personal plea from me. Thank you for listening. —Quantling (talk | contribs) 17:28, 4 May 2026 (UTC)
- If I recall correctly, I only did so at Template:log(x), as it is mostly or exclusively transcluded on pages using
<math></math>. In any case, thank you for the notice. SomeRailfan (talk) 21:27, 4 May 2026 (UTC)
