Template:Mvar/doc

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.

Note that digits in a variable name are conventionally not italic so math should be used instead in for example $x_{1}$ to produce $x_{1}$. Functions and variables made up of multiple letters are conventionally set in upright letters so math should be used in that case too; for example $cos$ to produce $cos$.

Usage
For example:

Let $x$ be the maximum value used.

produces:

Let $x$ be the maximum value used.
