Text Formatting ⇒ Mathmatical text not working in between paragraphs.

[Rahul]

hi,
Parenthesis {} are not occurring.Also in first D/2 ,2 is very large.+1,+2 are also very large not subscript type.

Code: Select all

\documentclass[12pt,journal,compsoc]{IEEEtran}
\usepackage{alltt}
\usepackage{amssymb}
\usepackage{amsfonts}
\usepackage{mathtools}
\usepackage{array}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{float}
\usepackage{lipsum}

\begin{document}
{ 
$D_(m/2)+1$,$D(m/2)+2$,...,$D_m$ 
} 
\end{document}

You seem to be confusing the function of parentheses, (), and braces, {}, in TeX. Also note that there are specific commands to get ellipses (...) in LaTeX. I've used amsmath's \dotsc here, for "dots with commas," since that's what you evidently wanted.

Is this what you were trying to do?

Code: Select all

    \documentclass[12pt,journal,compsoc]{IEEEtran}
    \usepackage{amsmath}
    \begin{document}
    $D_{m/2+1},D_{m/2+2},\dotsc,D_m$
    \end{document}

Actually I want to include braces in the text.
You can try a run and see the differences and what I want.

Do you mean like this:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[12pt,journal,compsoc]{IEEEtran}
\usepackage{mathtools}% loads amsmath
\begin{document}
$\{D_{(m/2)+1},D_{(m/2)+2},\dotsc,D_m\}$ 
\end{document}

Code worked perfectly as it is very usual for Clemens.

The braces { and } have a special meaning in LaTeX: they can be used to denote a group in order to keep the scope of definitions or the effect of some commands local, they also denote beginning and end of an argument to a command (and also to the math subscript and superscript characters _{sub} and ^{super}. If you want to actually typeset the braces you can use the commands \{ and \}. You can also use in text \textbraceleft and \textbraceright or in math \lbrace and \rbrace.

Code: Select all

\documentclass[12pt,journal,compsoc]{IEEEtran}
\usepackage{mathtools}% loads amsmath
\begin{document}

{\bfseries local} scope

as \textbf{argument}

Text: \{\} \textbraceleft\textbraceright

Math: $\{\} \lbrace\rbrace$

\end{document}
