textnormal
Formats text in the document's default (normal) font style, removing any special formatting or mathematical mode effects.
Overview
Essential for maintaining consistent text appearance within mathematical expressions or other specially formatted contexts where normal text needs to be preserved.
- Commonly used within math mode to insert regular text without inheriting math italics.
- Helpful in environments like theorem statements or definitions where certain terms should appear in standard text.
- Particularly useful when switching between mathematical notation and regular text in the same expression.
- Ensures readability by preventing unintended italicization or font changes that might occur in specialized environments.
Examples
Using normal text in subscripts where italics would be inappropriate.
