How to make the defined `oline` adjust with texts?












0















First a MWE is as follows:



documentclass{amsart}
usepackage{amsmath,amsfonts}
newcommand*oline[1]{%
kern.2em%add the left space
vbox{%
hrule height 0.3pt% % Line above with certain width
kern0.3ex% % Distance between line and content
hbox{%
kern -0.1em% % Distance between content and left side of box, negative values for lines shorter than content
ifmmode#1elseensuremath{#1}fi% % The content, typeset in dependence of mode
kern -0.1em% % Distance between content and left side of box, negative values for lines shorter than content
}% end of hbox
}% end of vbox
kern.2em} %add the right spacce

begin{document}
[2^{oline{S}abc}=oline{S}0.]

end{document}


In the example, I define a command oline to produce the above line as my desired. But it can't adjust with the texts as you see in the following figure: oline{S} is bigger than abc while in fact it should be the same size as abc.

  • @egreg the line produced by overline is too long and too thick, and also when to use overline iterably, for example overline{overline{A}}, the space between produced lines is too large.

There are a few improvements to apply.




  1. When you open an hbox, TeX is not in math mode any longer, so ifmmode will always return false.

  2. You need to take into account the current math style, which is done with mathpalette.

  3. The hardwired 0.3ex will yield too big a spacing in superscripts.


Here's a proposal, with a comparison with the standard bar command.



documentclass{amsart}
usepackage{amsmath,amsfonts}

makeatletter
newcommand*oline[1]{{mspace{2mu}mathpaletteo@line{#1}mspace{2mu}}}
newcommand*o@line[2]{%
vbox{
sboxz@{$m@th#1mspace{2mu}$}
hrule height 0.3pt
kernwdz@
hbox{$m@thmspace{-2mu}#1#2mspace{-2mu}$}
}%
}
makeatother

begin{document}

begin{gather*}
2^{oline{S}abc}=oline{S}0 \
2^{bar{S}abc}=bar{S}0
end{gather*}

end{document}
