Custom operators
The following expressions allow you to use custom operators that have been defined on a math reference
page:
Expression
newinfix[x,y]
newprefix[x]
newpostfix[x]
newfunction[x]
newlarge[x,y,z]
newdelimiter[x]
newlimit[x,y]
newvlist[x,y,z]
The expressions that insert new custom operators must include the name of the custom operator from the
reference page. For example, suppose a document has a custom operator MyFunction that is added to the
DMathCatalog statement as follows:
<DMathCatalog
<DMathNew
<DMathOpName `MyFunction'> # Names the new operator
<DMathNewType Function>
> # end of DMathNew
> # end of DMathCatalog
The corresponding MathFullForm statement appears as follows:
<MathFullForm `newfunction[(*T"MyFunction"T*)[char[x]]]'>
You do not use one of the custom operator expressions to insert a redefined math operator in an equation.
Instead, you use the expression for the built-in operator, but force a FrameMaker product to use the new
symbol from the reference page. For example, suppose you redefine the built-in operator asin and add it
to the Math Catalog as follows:
<DMathCatalog
<DMathOpOverrides
<DMathOpName `asin'>
<DMathOpTLineOverride Yes>
> # end of DMathOpOverrides
> # end of DMathCatalog
MathFullForm statement
<MathFullForm `matrix[3,2,num[1,"1"],num[2,"2"],num[3,"3"],
num[4,"4"],num[5,"5"],num[6,"6"]]'>
