With the recent activity on Banach spaces, now seems like a good time to remind people that iTeX renders the spacing around norms and absolute values much better if you put braces around them. (Also include subscripts, superscripts, and \left/\right commands inside the braces.)

Thus \|x\|^2 + \|y\|^2 produces $\parallel x{\parallel }^{2}+\parallel y{\parallel }^{2}$, while {\|x\|^2} + {\|y\|^2} produces $\parallel x{\parallel }^{2}+\parallel y{\parallel }^{2}$.

Thanks – I couldn’t remember the trick (although I could have remembered where to look had I thought harder about it).

I’m a frequent offender as well. I knew that there was something to do with placement of braces, but couldn’t remember what it was.
