Add algorithm tag #66
Comments
And what goes into it? Only a pseudo-code chunk? Or is more like an example On 03/14/2015 07:17 PM, kcrisman wrote:

Well, it's like a theorem except it isn't a theorem, it's an algorithm. Could be pseudocode but maybe not. E.g. (though this was not the case I was thinking of)

(I should point out that an algorithm may have a proof that it has a certain big-Oh or whatever, or that it does in fact provide the desired outcome, but it doest have to, it could just be a set of steps. The example connected to it would be a separate example tag, just like when one would give an example of a proposition or theorem or fact or definition. Basically, I just couldn't think of what else in the list of theorem-like tags this could be and didn't want to hack in some bold-face and numbering.) |
(And I suppose there could be a program listing as part of it, though I myself would prefer to have that be a separate item which implements Algorithm 2.3.1.4.2.3.5b (or whatever).) |
I see. So in your example algorithm there could be a claim that the list only Should be very easy to add it to the list of theorem, corollary, lemma, fact, Thanks for the suggestion and for not hacking up something. ;-) Rob On 03/14/2015 08:28 PM, kcrisman wrote:

There are LaTeX packages for marking up algorithms, and they are Not sure how much of that you want to support. On Sat, 14 Mar 2015, Rob Beezer wrote:

Right. I spent a long time once trying to figure this out. The LaTeX I think an "algorithm" still can be useful now, and then down the road better On 03/15/2015 06:48 AM, davidfarmer wrote:

Thanks, KDC. Announcement at https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/mathbook-xml-support/2D6Gne1XS-E |
Wow. Thank you open source! |
Like fact, theorem, statement, etc. This is common enough in things like discrete math textbooks. (I didn't find it in the sample article, anyway.)
