Quick (silly) questions:
1.
why do you have to write "\inter" ? Why not just write "inter" ?
Typing "\" causes me to make use of a key on my keyboard I have never
used before which is scary ;-)
2.
"such-that" is surely "such that" but the hyphen might just mean
something
(this is mathematics; there are dots and dashes and slashes all over
the place so you have to know what they all mean)
likewise
"belongs-to" would still mean the same thing if we wrote "belongs to"
would it not?
