Index talk:A Treatise on Electricity and Magnetism

Style tips
Here some suggestions from a careful review of validated pages.


 * Use always math tag for single variable names inline (don't use Italics);
 * Use h3 tag for sub-headings (don't use simply italics);
 * Use the best, simpler TeX code to render multiple symbols (i.e. use \iiint for a triple integral and avoid the alternative \int \int \int);
 * Use the spacing TeX code when needed
 * Add here any other suggestion.

Template:Numb form
I wrote a simple template to manage Numbered Formulas. T.i, formulas (centered on the left) with a number (aligned to the right). It's simply a two-cell table 100% width, first cell aligned center, second cell aligned right.

His code:

So:

gives:

Here an example page.

It can be used for not numbered formulas too, simply don't fill the second parameter. Question: have I to add other optional parameters? --Alex brollo 21:16, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

Questions
--Alex brollo 00:12, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
 * What about one-letter variable names? have we to use math tag for any of them, or Italic tag is sufficient?
 * I found some TeX code to obtain smaller characters into some formulas (i.e. the \tfrac tag); is there some trick to obtain smaller characters into any formula?
 * Can we add here any "style issue" to have a common policy and style? This book is really tricky :-( !!!

Problem into formulas: a trick to show them
I used TeX tag {\color {Red}} to show troublesome parts of a page (the problem usually is, low resolution of the original scan). See Page:A_Treatise_on_Electricity_and_Magnetism_Volume_1_062.jpg for an example. --Alex brollo 12:58, 4 July 2008 (UTC)
