Manifold Atlas:TeX in the Atlas

1 LaTeX formulas
The <wikitex> environment lets you to insert inline LaTeX formulas using the familiar dollar signs: all atlas articles begin and end with the <wikitex> tags. For example
<wikitex>; ... there is a diffeomorphism $f \co M^n_a \cong M^n_b$ ... </wikitex>
will appear as:
there is a diffeomorphism
Please read the style guide for Latex conventions in the atlas and command shortcuts.
Finally note that the normal <math> tags are disabled so that there is a unique method for math markup.
1.1 Displayed formulas
Displayed formulas can be obtained by double-dollars $$...$$. You can get tags at the right margin by the command \eqno{...} within a displayed formula. There is no automatic numbering available, so please number your formulas by hand, if necessary.
Multiline formulas can be obtained by the AMS-LaTeX environments “gathered”, “aligned” and “alignedat”. For example,
<wikitex>; $$ \begin{aligned} H^k(K(G,k);H) &\cong \Hom(H_k(K(G,k);H) \\ &\cong \Hom(G,H). \end{aligned} $$ </wikitex>
yields
2 Theorems, proofs and such
The Atlas has a single theorem-like environment {{beginthm|par1|par2}} and {{endthm}}. The first parameter contains the name of the statement. The second parameter is optional and contains any additions to the theorem heading. For example:
Conjecture 2.1 (Novikov). The higher signatures are homotopy invariants.
is generated by the code
{{beginthm|Conjecture|(Novikov)}} The higher signatures are homotopy invariants. {{endthm}}
There is also a single proof environment {{beginproof}} and {{endproof}}. For example
Proof. The proof follows from ... .
is generated by the code
{{beginproof}} The proof follows from ... . {{endproof}}
3 Intra-article referencing
You can label Theorems, Lemmas etc and refer to them just as you would in tex. Here is an example:
{{beginthm|Conjecture|[Borel Conjecture]}} '''\label{con:Borel_Conjecture}''' Every aspherical closed manifold is topologically rigid. {{endthm}} In particular the Borel Conjecture '''\ref{con:Borel_Conjecture}''' implies ...
Produces the output:
Conjecture 3.1 [Borel Conjecture].
Every aspherical closed manifold is topologically rigid.
In particular the Borel Conjecture 3.1 implies ... .
Note that the following text can also be used:
- <label>label_name</label> in place of \label{label_name}
- </wikitex><ref>label_name</ref><wikitex>; in place of \ref{label_name}
4 Diagrams
The Atlas supports the diagram package Xy-pic. So making diagrams with xy-pic in the Atlas works just as it would in a usual TeX file: make sure you are in math-mode. Here are a couple examples from the Atlas:

5 Lists
Lists are easily produced.
- Just use for each item.
- To creata a sub-list, use .
- If you want to number the list you can use # .
- For more information see lists in Wikipedia.
6 LaTeX style guide
- Shortcuts for blackboard bold capital letters are available: for example type $\Cc,\Qq,\Rr$ for .
- Expressions consisting of more than one letter should usually not be written: For example, $Diff(M)$ since this results in the cumbersome: . A TeX-nically better way is $\mathop{\mathrm{Diff}}(M)$, which yields the elegant rendering . For your convenience, some manifold-related expressions are predefined in the <wikitex> environment, in addition to the standard operators like \sin, \exp etc. Feel free to request more commonly used operators and abbreviations.
