Re: \L in math mode?

Aha, that seems to do the trick - sizing is correct for the few variations I just checked. Definite improvement on what I was doing before. Thanks!

\L in math mode?

No - it's not working for you either :) Check your log: "LaTeX Warning: Command \L invalid in math mode on input line 4."

Looks LaTeX kicks out the L with stroke as a non-math mode character. To see the difference, check out this:
$x_L x_\L

The two subscripts should come out the same size.

\L in math mode?

A simple minimal example. This fails on Tex Live 2009

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
$\L$
\end{document}
I get the same error: "LaTeX Warning: Command \L invalid in math mode on input line 3." Log file is attached.

\L in math mode?

Hi everyone,

Is there any way to get an L with stroke (\L) in math mode? I've been using \mbox to date, but this causes botched formatting in some contexts (superscripts and subscripts are my particular pain points).

Thanks!
