Derivatives and Differentials

[fcotton]

If I write "int dx", the editor puts "d" and "x" next to each other with no space in between. If I write "int d%theta" the editor inserts a space between "d" and "%theta". The same thing happens with derivatives: "{df}over{dx}" vs. "{df}over{d%theta}". I'm assuming that the "nospace" command in version 3.3 will serve as a work-around. However, a better fix would be to modify the editing rule that recognizes "dx" so that it recognizes "d%theta" also.

I'm not sure what the rules are (as far as I know, there is no definitive description of Math's input language), but I think, when you write "int dx", the d and x are not two one-letter variables, but one two-letter variable. So, naturally, there is no space between the letters.

I believe that the "nospace" hack is the fix for this issue.
