Insert relations

The Relations page contains relation symbols such as =, <, >, approx, equivalent, isan element of, superset, and subset.

All relation symbols—except the binary equal sign equalto—apply to the character to the left or right of the insertion point or to the selection. When you insert a relation symbol between multiplied elements, it applies to the elements on either side of the insertion point.

Binary equal signs equal to appear to the right of the current expression (as shown in the second example). When the insertion point or selection is in a subscript or superscript, the equal sign appears in the subscript or superscript.
