symbols
From this document Comprehensive symbols I see there is a bbding plane symbol which can be inserted into LaTeX. As a newbie to LaTeX, would you mind helping me understand how to insert it? The following attempts haven’t worked:
\Plane
\textplane
\equation{\plane}
$\plane$
Here is a custom-designed Bezier-curve flame in TikZ combined with a dotless letter ‘i’:
Here is the source:
\documentclass{minimal}
\usepackage{tikz}
\newcommand{\iflame}[2]{%
\begin{tikzpicture}[scale=#1]
\fill[color=#2]
(0,0) .. controls (-1.5,1.25) and (.5,2) .. (-.2,4)
.. controls (1,2.5) and (1,.5) .. (0,0);
\end{tikzpicture}
}
\newcommand{\icandle}[1]{%
\rlap{\kern-.0275em\raisebox{1.2ex}{\iflame{.035}{#1}}}$\i$%
}
\begin{document}
\noindent
el\icandle{red}te\\
el\icandle{orange}te\\
el\icandle{yellow!80!red}te\\
el\icandle{gray}te\\
elite\\
\par
\end{document}
If you find the serifs on the ‘i’ to be undesirable, you can substitute instead a vertical rule of height 1ex, depth 0ex, and width .7pt, with about .09em kerning on each side, and then lower the flame by .1ex. I tried it both ways and I personally like it better with the serifs on the ‘i’.
Addendum
I just noticed today that the middle three letters of “elite” are “lit” and that the last four letters are “lite”. There is also the visual pun “e-lite”, e.g., “electronic light.”
It is good practice to wrap your wrap the \vdash into a command. That way you can change the command once in the preamble (say you suddenly need it bold, or larger, or whatever) and it will be changed everywhere in the document. E.g.,
\documentclass{article}
\newcommand{\concl}{\ensuremath{\vdash}}
\begin{document}
\begin{itemize}
\item [P1] first premise
\item [P2] second premise
\item [\concl] conclusion
\end{itemize}
\end{document}
