The d of Calculus
Looks like the Aligned Material section: 
 * $\displaystyle \frac d {dt} H \left({U}\right) = d H \left({U} \right) \cdot \dot U = \Omega \left({X_H \left({U}\right), \dot U} \right) = \Omega\left({X_H \left({U}\right), X_H \left({U}\right)} \right) = 0$

isn't following the style tip from the earlier The d of Calculus section:  When writing calculus operators, use a non-italic form for the $\mathrm d$, that is, write it as  \mathrm d . So you would have:


 * $\displaystyle \frac {\mathrm d y} {\mathrm d x}$


 * Good call. I have been less than conscientious in making sure they all fit the style. Hence: "... fashions change, and it is more than possible that this convention is fading out as being fiddly and unnecessary."


 * It's a nice-to-have, but it's not consistent. I will update the one you pointed out now. --prime mover 12:28, 16 May 2011 (CDT)

Are there any guidelines or rules for using pictures in proofs? How about pseudocode in proofs involving algorithms? --Emichael 12:33, 2 June 2011 (CDT)


 * None at all. If it works, it's in. Enjoy.


 * Lots of our geometry diagrams have been drawn using GeoGebra, which rocks a fat one. Recommended. As for pseudocode, put it in tt tags and see if it works. --prime mover 13:10, 2 June 2011 (CDT)


 * Incidentally, there is also a specified tag for code, which we haven't really had a cause to use: .  I think it's supposed to render a bit more nicely than just tt, especially in large blocks.  --Alec  (talk) 16:01, 2 June 2011 (CDT)
