General ⇒ Slashed Characters

[gn0m0n]

Hi,

I'm new. I'm using TeXnicCenter right now but I also have TeXShop (I think it's called that) on my Mac. Anyway, I want to write characters with slashes through them (it is to display an equation for amplitude as given by Feynman rules). It seems like this should be pretty simple but I don't see any way to do it at this point. Please help!

...I want to write characters with slashes through them (it is to display an equation for amplitude as given by Feynman rules)...

Sorry, I'am not familiar with Feynman rules, but maybe the cancel package can be useful, if I understood your question.

Thanks. That could work. I also found this http://tug.ctan.org/cgi-bin/ctanPackage ... id=slashed but I guess I don't know how to install the package...

If you are using a recent version of MiKTeX, then the installation will be done for you: Automatic Package Installation.

I do not know how things work with MacOS...Anyway, there's always the quick solution: save the slashed.sty file in your working directory (the one containing the .tex file).

Got it all worked out. I didn't see it listed on the mirror I'd looked at for packages so I didn't realize it actually comes installed with MikTeX. Then I just had to learn how to include it or load it or whatever \usepackage{slashed} And I'm all set! Thanks.
