rules.
Element
Element functions can be customized with
set
and show
rules.A case distinction.
Content across different branches can be aligned with the &
symbol.
Example
$ f(x, y) := cases(
1 "if" (x dot y)/2 <= 0,
2 "if" x "is even",
3 "if" x in NN,
4 "else",
) $

ParameterParameterParameters are input values for functions. Specify them in parentheses after the function name.
Parameter
Parameters are input values for functions. Specify them in parentheses after the function name.
delim
The delimiter to use.
Can be a single character specifying the left delimiter, in which case the right delimiter is inferred. Otherwise, can be an array containing a left and a right delimiter.
Default value: ("{", "}")
Show example
#set math.cases(delim: "[")
$ x = cases(1, 2) $

reverse

rule, changing the default value used thereafter.
Settable
Settable
Settable parameters can be set using the
set
rule, changing the default value used thereafter.Whether the direction of cases should be reversed.
Default value: false
Show example
#set math.cases(reverse: true)
$ cases(1, 2) = x $

Settable
Settable
Settable parameters can be set using the

Default value: 0% + 0.2em
Show example
#set math.cases(gap: 1em)
