How to change display style default

#1

Hi,

For the most part i use “Display style” on, but the default is for it to be off.

Is there a way to change the default setting, or to assign a shortcut key to toggle the setting?

Hi, can you explain why you turn “Display style” on?

In fact, I find myself never use that function before, and actually don’t know its functionality…

Display style uses more horizontal and vertical spacing. Inline displays are normally more compact, so as not to disrupt the vertical spacing of the text, but inline display style can be useful to make equations more readable.

You can turn on display style by default by setting math-display to true in the preamble:

<assign|math-display|true>

That was my first time editing the preamble file and it did not work out well for me.

Now “_” & “^” are no longer being recognized. When I press one of these characters to insert a script
nothing appears on the screen.

None of the script keys work now. It’s as if I had not pressed the key at all.

I deleted the “assign” statement that had been added to the preamble and it still does not work.

How do I reset the preamble to the beginning?

Did you just update to 2.1.1? There appears to be a bug affecting subscripts in that version.

#6

Yes, I did. I can no longer do subscripts or superscripts, not manually and not through the menus.

Not knowing the cause of the issue, I completely uninstalled and reinstalled texmacs and still same problem. Other functionality seems to work, but not the “scripting” which i what mostly use.

Is there a way around this issue?

Did you reinstall 2.1 or 2.1.1? It should be okay in 2.1.

#8

At the time it was 2.1.1 as that was what was available on the site.
But, now that the site has reverted back to 2.1, i’ve reinstalled that version.

Everything is working as before including the assign statement in the preamle. :slight_smile:

That was an interesting experience.

Thank you
