@cfr I think I managed to handle it by using raggedright and raggedleft inside the definition of \glossentry, but I faced another problem with siunitx that I have just asked about it here tex.stackexchange.com/q/389976/2288
@barbarabeeton et al What am I supposed to use to align several series of inequalities, such that corresponding terms in each series get aligned? I'm trying to use align but I'm not even sure that's right.
@cfr -- i'm pretty sure that array is what has been recommended, since then you have the ability to specify all of right, left and center. unfortunately, this laptop is so constrained that i don't even have the ability to do a search in tex.sx. but i'm positive this has been asked before,
@barbarabeeton OK. Thanks. I don't think I have any operators. (In other cases, I do, but then I'm aligning on the in/equalities and I'm clearer how to do it. Or what to do it.) Thanks again.
@DiaaAbidou In a terminal, perl latexcount filename.tex seems to work (with latexcount.pl in the working directory). You might want to try texcount though, which gives a more detailed rundown, and is included in TeX Live, so you can probably just run texcount filename.tex in a terminal.
@cfr align(ed)at (and using && as separator) I would guess but hard to know without an example.

Didn't know about texcount. So I tried it, and it threw a fit upon encountering $t_i\in[0,T$]. Sticking the bracket inside where it belongs cured that, and I am glad I found it, but it makes me wonder how it will cope with constructs like $t_i\in[0,T\mathclose[$, which is a notation favoured by some. Only one way to find out: Try it.
@cfr I rarely see alignment on operator, and mostly align on relations, a few times on binary operators. Generally I use the advise from Math into type when I edit manuscripts + I use \MoveEqLeft a LOT. Math into typo is on the AMS FTP server
… that worked like a charm. So why didn't it like the first one, then? Other examples of isolated right brackets in the text don't make difficulties, either. Is the parser somewhat fragile?
@HaraldHanche-Olsen the Danish LaTeX comminity wrote the interval package for that. I generally use that package when people use the ],[ syntax
@HaraldHanche-Olsen dang
Mathematics into type, that combined with the new guidelines @barbarabeeton was posting makes some good advise on structuring math.
I tend to add my own rules as well. For example that fences should be scaled to an extend that it is clear to the user what they fence, but not to such an extend that they dominate the expression. With the addendum that sometimes it is better that they go down in size going outward instead of always increasing.
@daleif There was some discussion earlier on regarding the AMS FTP server, I think. My web browser (Vivaldi) can't access it, and I understand that many others don't, either. So I investigated, and found this on the wire:
220 ::ffff:130.44.204.20 FTP server ready

Running curl from the command line, I see the same, but curl just ignores the error and moves on.

I have a few questions on multipole expansions and I have read about the topic in many places but could not find an answer to my questions, so please be patient with me.
The electrostatic potential due to an arbitrary charge distribution $\rho(\textbf{r`})$
at a given point $\textbf{r}$ is given...
@samcarter I think there should be no mask, but a ball and chain or a chain gang is a must and perhaps a cap with stripes. And @PauloCereda should underlay some sound e.g. youtube.com/watch?v=LQCooL_q91k (still missing the foolball sounds in the duck pond ...)
@ChristianHupfer He could have tried on the mask, requested a mirror and asked Darth Sidious if it was available in other sizes/colours/styles - that would have been a convincing story arc!
@ChristianHupfer there are some visual similarities.
I would like to apply a transformation to some text so that it is slanted following a trapezoidal shape, such as the famous opening text of the Star Wars franchise:
This seems tricky to do since it is not an affine transformation. I have tried googling around but without luck.

@HaraldHanche-Olsen -- interesting. i had been led to believe that anonymous ftp had been shut down. what you've posted implies that maybe, if you know exactly what you're looking for, some attempts may actually succeed. i will investigate.
@mickep @DavidCarlisle The array suggestion by @barbarabeeton helped a lot. Unfortunately, I lose the numbering, but the alignment is definitely better, I think. Requested example:
\documentclass[a4paper,twocolumn]{article}
\usepackage{geometry}
\geometry{twoside,hmarginratio=1:1,hscale=.875,vscale=.85,vcentering,marginparwidth=20pt,marginparsep=4pt}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\begin{document}
\[
\renewcommand\arraystretch{1.3}%
\begin{array}{*{7}{c}}
\Pr(A_a|B_1) & > & \Pr(A_a|B_2) & > & \dots{} & > & \Pr(A_a|B_s) \\
\multicolumn{7}{@{}l}{\text{short note}}\\
1 & > & \frac{1}{2} & > & \dots{} & > & \frac{1}{s} \notag \\
\multicolumn{7}{@{}p{\linewidth}@{}}{This is a long explanation which runs to more than a single line in two-column mode.}\\
@egreg @DavidCarlisle are there any news about using xparse macros under hyperref (e.g. making them works with bookmarks, e.g. used inside \section and friends)
@DavidCarlisle I tried changing \NewDocumentCommand to just \NewExpandableDocumentCommand, which failed misrably. What are the internal requirements for such a macro to actually be expandable. Warning internally it will contain \ref
\documentclass[a4paper,twocolumn]{article}
\usepackage{geometry}
\geometry{twoside,hmarginratio=1:1,hscale=.875,vscale=.85,vcentering,marginparwidth=20pt,marginparsep=4pt}
\usepackage{mathtools}
\begin{document}
\begin{alignat}{4}
\Pr(A_a|B_1) & > \Pr(A_a|B_2) && > \dots{} && > \Pr(A_a|B_s) \\
\shortintertext{short note}
1 & > \frac{1}{2} && > \dots{} && > \frac{1}{s} \notag \\
\intertext{This is a long explanation which runs to more than a single line in two-column mode.}
@daleif 'Nice' is relative. It is nice relative to what it looked like before. The vertical spacing is not great either. (It doesn't match spacing in other cases which use \intertext in align etc.)
@DavidCarlisle Thanks. But is it better not to centre the terms under each other? I'd thought they should be centred.
@DavidCarlisle The reason I didn't ask a question on the main site originally was because I also didn't know what it should look like or what I should be trying to align. It 'looks' to me as if the terms should be centred and the inequalities aligned, but perhaps I'm mistaken about that.
@cfr If you want that I made an answer somewhere that gave the possibility of specifying lrc alignment for ams alignments, I wonder if I can find it.....
@DavidCarlisle That would be great. I did search and found array in an answer by Mico, which was also what @barbarabeeton had suggested. But it gets quite icky and has no tags.
@cfr oh do what I intended not what I did then:-) I'm going home, will be online later ping me if I forget :-) oh I missed out some & you need &>& for this not the ams style &> I see some where I havent added the extra ones
@daleif I think \cdots improves them, but my output doesn't look like yours when I stick to just \dots.
@mickep Trouble is, my output doesn't look fine when I compile @daleif 's code :(. However, I think I've got a similar result using @DavidCarlisle's code and \cdots.
@daleif -- i hadn't yet seen david's code when i started experimenting. but i will take a look at it now. i will also take a look at yours. (i forced a space before the dots to make the spaces symmetrical on both sides.)
@barbarabeeton My original plan was to go back to Miami after the drydock in Bahamas. But Miami cannot move away, the ship does, so I'm pretty confident.
@barbarabeeton I have been frequently going to see since 18 years ;-) It's a special cruise though, since the ship had just 1 week of 4 planned weeks of drydock, so pretty much taken apart and temporarily fixed to be fit for sea.
