This template creates vectors using arrow notation in HTML, as an alternative to boldface .
The template has three parameters:
Vector symbol : Insert the character, i.e. A , Ω etc. Default is A ; to immediately show the template is in use, and prevent the arrow moving and overlapping text to one side.
Arrow direction : Select one of left , right , or double for the arrows →, ←, or ↔ respectively. The default is right .
Arrow position : Select one of under or over to place the arrow over or under the character symbolizing the vector. The default is over .
The defaults for 2 and 3 are set to match the LaTeX analogue of \vec
:
A
→
{\displaystyle {\vec {A))}
.
