Math Help - Angstroms in LaTeX

1. Angstroms in LaTeX

Some time ago someone asked how to obtain the symbol for Angstrom units
using LaTeX. Well its not elegant but:

$
{\buildrel _{\circ} \over {\mathrm{A}}}
$

is generated by: {\buildrel _{\circ} \over {\mathrm{A}}}

I suspect some of the braces are redundant.

\buildrel _\circ \over {\mathrm{A}}
Works too.

Problem is this is math forum nobody uses angstroms.

3. There is a simple command to produce a circle above a letter, but it doesn't look to good above a capital A. Click to see the code:

$\r{A}\r{o}$

This is another one, math-style, and seems to work well for A too:

$\mathring{A}\mathring{o}$

It is "proper" to unslant your A.

$\r{\rm A} \r{\rm o}$

Then use the addition above, still a lot shorter

I'm sorry

9. easier: just use \AA

you don't need mathmode or anything

$\AA$

$$\text{\AA}$$

12. hm seems it only does work without mathsurrounding in german version as i use miktex/latex or maybe i installed a package that supports this command

The  tags are only required on this site. In a LateX document it requires no such tags (and the \text{} should not be needed other that in math mode).

14. Re: Angstroms in LaTeX

Angstrom is a unit of length .... please do not use (never, NEVER EVER) italic units
they have to be outside of math-enviroment or you make them non-italic (e.g.: $\mathrm{}$)

Thus, \AA in text enviroment is the most suitable solution .... furthermore, do not forget the "\," between number and unit, else you cold have to fight on linebreaks and so on (e.g.: 123\,\AA).

Regards

I'm not poking fun at your comment, but you are aware that this thread is 5 years old?
