## Usage frequency

<0.01% of formulas in the measured corpus contain this entry, rank 207 of 263 entries with frequency data.

## In TeXForm

TeXForm parses this entry as prefix syntax; the package determines its argument specification.

### Expands to (ams)

```latex
\idotsint
```

→

```latex
\int\cdots\int
```

Source reparses the command by prepending this TeX to the unread input. If the immediately following control sequence is \limits, the method first changes the inserted TeX to \!\!\mathop{\,\,\int\cdots\int}, so the final stream is effectively \!\!\mathop{\,\,\int\cdots\int}\limits.

### [ams/idotsint-expand](https://texform.dev/rules/ams/idotsint-expand)

Expand idotsint to explicit repeated integral surfaces.

Level: faithful. Fidelity: render.

```latex
\idotsint
```

→

```latex
\int\cdots\int
```

```latex
\idotsint_{[0,1]^4} f(x_1,\dots,x_4)\,dx_1\cdots dx_4
```

→

```latex
\int\cdots\int_{[0,1]^4} f(x_1,\dots,x_4)\,dx_1\cdots dx_4
```
