Template:Oiiint/doc

This template is used to include the double closed integral, usually in a mathematical formula. It overcomes a limitation of the TeX rendering which cannot display this symbol without clumsy workarounds.

Arguments

• preintegral the text or formula immediately before the integral
• intsubscpt the subscript below the integral
• integrand the text or formula immediately after the formula

All parameters are optional.

Examples

Two of Maxwell's equations, e.g. the Maxwell–Faraday equation and Ampère's circuital law (with Maxwell's addition).

Technical details

The \oiint command is not part of AMS-LaTeX, and thus not part of the math support that MediaWiki provides. It is available as a unicode character but font support for this character can be lacking. For this reason, the template provides an image variant of the character.
