Text Formatting ⇒ Stack Symbol on Arrow

[Rupert]

I'm typing up a translation of a French mathematical book and there's this bit where I have to do a \sim on top of a \longrightarrow. I was wondering if anyone could tell me how this is done.

Include the amsmath package into the preamble of your document and use the \xrightarrow command.

Code: Select all

\documentclass[11pt]{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{mathtools}   % loads »amsmath«

\begin{document}
  $\xrightarrow{\sim}$
\end{document}

For details refer to the package manual.
