Changing the definition of “mod” in spanish impossible?












7














I'm writing a math text in spanish and want to change the definition of the "mod" command. However, this seems impossible, as the following MWE shows:



documentclass{article}



usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}

usepackage[spanish]{babel}

usepackage[T1]{fontenc}

usepackage{amsmath}



renewcommand{mod}{operatorname{changed}}



begin{document}

$a equiv b mod c$

end{document}


This produces the following output:



enter image description here



However, if I comment the line



usepackage[spanish]{babel}


in the above code, the result I get is



enter image description here



as I would expect.



The same phenomenon happens with other math operators that carry accents in spanish, like for example "max" or "lim", but it works for such that don't have accents, like "sin".

    Is your aim to avoid the accent in the operator names?

I guess that your aim is to use the standard unaccented operator names.



The trick is explained it the manual for babel-spanish, section 5.5.



documentclass{article}



usepackage[T1]{fontenc}

usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}

usepackage[spanish]{babel}

usepackage{amsmath}



% no accents in math operators

unaccentedoperators



begin{document}



$a equiv b mod{c}$



$lim_{xto c}f(x)$



$arcsin t$



$max A-min A$



end{document}


enter image description here



Beware that mod is not defined with operatorname and your proposed redefinition would be bad anyway.



Anyway, here's a correct way to proceed:



documentclass{article}



usepackage[T1]{fontenc}

usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}

usepackage[spanish]{babel}

usepackage{amsmath}



%unaccentedoperators



makeatletter

addtomathspanish{renewcommand{mod}{operatorname{mes@op@ac od}}}

makeatother



begin{document}



$a equiv b mod c$



end{document}


enter image description here



If you don't want the accent irrespective of accentedoperators or unaccentedoperators, remove the es@op@ac command.



In general, I don't recommend redefining some standard command to do different things (apart from printing just a different symbol). Better defining omod or whatever name you prefer.

How to calibrate 16:9 built-in touch-screen to a 4:3 resolution?

up vote 0 down vote favorite I need help with an issue we're facing in a project where we are moving from a Windows-based POS environment to one running on CentOS7.

QoS: MAC-Priority for clients behind a repeater

Image
1 1 I've setup a wireless network using a Linksys-Router (DD-WRT) as an AP and a TP-Link repeater for range extension. To manage bandwith for specific users, I've setup QoS-Rules on the AP (DD-WRT) using MAC-Priority: However the AP shows only the Repeater's MAC and the MACs of users inside the AP-Range. The MAC addresses of users behind the Repeater are not listed : The purple MAC is not listed in the AP-Clientlist. Its related to a device connected via the TP-Link repeater. Q: How can I setup MAC-Priority for repeater-clients? Do I simply add the purple MAC in AP-MAC priority list although it's not listed as a client? I want to setup specific priority instead of giving one priority for all clients behind the repeater by adding the repeater's MAC in the MAC priority list in the AP as ...
