Does an English norm exists to write the formula this way? In German we have:

- The limits are above and under the int-sign not on its right side.
- The e for the exp-function is regular not italic
- the d in dt is regular not italic

Other remarks concerning the formula:

- The x in the limit should have another font. Now it looks like a chi.
- There are () missing for the Gamma function.

Or using Wiki-math and no picture at all:

Thanks Regina:

Examples:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integral - limits on right and italic d

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exponential_function - italic e

I think that web representations tend to be a bit less picky - text books would tend to have non-italic d and e, although limits on right is OK (saves space).

The acid test is - does it worry anyone? So if it worries you, perhaps it needs fixing ;).

I've used images for formulae rather than wikimath so that if these make it into Calc Application Help it is easier. I've used Microsoft's renderer, because it is clearer than OOo, and often I've manually tweaked the formula in a paint program. But I do like the wikimath version! I'll replace the picture. I'll have to read up how to non-italicise ;) You can't do it in Microsoft - at least the version I have.

OK, how about:

Doesn't look as pretty, but is probably more technically correct. You choose...
