| This is a documentation subpage for Template:Mvar (see that page for the template itself). It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
The mvar template makes the argument italic and formats as mathematics. It is used to refer to individual variables in normal running text. It should not be used within a {{math}} template as that makes the characters too large.
Note that digits in a variable name are conventionally not italic so {{math}} should be used instead in for example {{math|''x''1}} to produce x1.
Usage[edit source]
For example:
Let {{mvar|maxnum}} be the maximum value used.
produces:
Let maxnum be the maximum value used.
