Hello,
Please help me with these 2 questions:
Q1. To output x greater than equal to y, I use $x \geq y$. Output is correct, but x and y are displayed in italics. How can I get regular x and y (i.e. NOT in italics).
Q2. How to output something like P subscript {x greater than equal to y}. Somehow P_{$x \geq v$} is not working.
Thank you.

NEW: TikZ book now 40% off at Amazon.com for a short time.
And: Currently, Packt sells ebooks for $4.99 each if you buy 5 of their over 1000 ebooks. If you choose only a single one, $9.99. How about combining 3 LaTeX books with Python, gnuplot, mathplotlib, Matlab, ChatGPT or other AI books? Epub and PDF. Bundle (3 books, add more for higher discount): https://packt.link/MDH5p

Re: Regarding subscript and inequality
Hi aquafina,
welcome to the board!
It's very common to write variables in italic. Have a look at books - do you find any math book where variables have the same font as the text, such that "any" looks like the product of a, n and y?
Also, write $P_{x \geq v}$. Subscripts require math mode. If it's really necessary it's possible, but at first think over using math italic font for math expressions.

Thanks Stefan. Your post was very help.
Yes, it surely makes sense to have variables in italics
