If I use:
$$\lim_{x\to3}f(x)$$
Then the x to 3 is placed below the limit. But if I write:
Given $f(x)=x^2$, evaluate $\lim_{x\to 2}f(x)$, …
Then the limit is put below right of the limit symbol. How can I place the x to 3 below the limit symbol in inline mode?
The * form you used is to request that behaviour of subscripts, so simply delete the *
\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\newcommand\mathbftt[1]{\textnormal{\ttfamily\bfseries #1}}
\usepackage{mathtools}
\DeclareMathOperator{\Symb}{Symb}
\begin{document}
$\Symb_{\mathbftt{AB}}$
\begin{equation}
\Symb_{\mathbftt{AB}}
\end{equation}
\end{document}

The “correct” way is to type
because
\displaystylewould change many other aspects of math typesetting that are good in displays but not in line. See displaystyle, dfrac, dcases for examples.The command
\limitscan go after any math operator taking limits, such as\sumand\max.Avoid doing this, because it spoils the spacing between lines, leaving huge white strips on your page. The formula
$\lim_{x\to 3} f(x)$is as readable as the one with the condition underneath ‘lim’.Also avoid
$$in LaTeX, see Why is \[ ... \] preferable to $$ ... $$?
