Syntax#
\absolutevalues*starm{}{a}math contentArgspec s m{} — one optional and one mandatory argument. Reading argspecs
Examples#
In TeXForm#
TeXForm parses this entry as prefix syntax; the package determines its argument specification.
Expands to#
\absolutevalue{#1} \left| #1 \right|With a leading star, the reparsed form uses plain fences | #1 |; with an adjacent sizing control sequence \big, \Big, \bigg, or \Bigg before the brace, it reparses to the corresponding sized fence form.
Collapse absolutevalue to the shorter abs helper before fence expansion.
\absolutevalue{#1} \abs{#1}Equivalent forms#
\abs{#1}exactMathJax maps both names to the same parse method with the same parameters, including star and sized-prefix behavior.
