\vert is a synonym for |. \Vert is a synonym for \|. \mid and \mvert produce<br />

the same symbol as \vert but designated as math relations instead of ordinals.<br />

\divides produces the same symbol as \vert but designated as a binary operator<br />

instead of an ordinal. \parallel and \mVert produce the same symbol as \Vert<br />

but designated as math relations instead of ordinals.<br />

The definitions of these <strong>symbols</strong> include a preceding \left or \right. It is therefore<br />

an error to specify \left or \right explicitly. The internal, “primitive” versions<br />

of these <strong>symbols</strong> are called \lwave, \rwave, \levaw, and \revaw.<br />

\rVert∗ ∗ nath redefines all of the above to include implicit \left and \right commands.<br />

Hence, separate \lVert and \rVert commands are needed to disambiguate whether<br />

“|” is a left or right delimiter.<br />

All of the <strong>symbols</strong> in Table 159 can also be expressed using the \double macro.<br />

See the nath documentation for examples and additional information.<br />
