In math, how can I make a single character non-italic?

Questions
1

If you use "text" in typst’s math, you cannot put only one character in " ".
So I am not able to type

$\mathrm{C}^2_5$

in typst, only

$C^2_5$

is OK

You probably want the upright function, or you can use #[]:

$upright(C)^2_5 quad C^2_5 quad #[C]^2_5$

The rendering result is:

Hi @user4, welcome and thank you for your question! I have changed your post’s title to bring it in line with the question guidelines and thus make it easier to understand from the title:

Good titles are questions you would ask your friend about Typst.

If you mean that e.g. $"C"$ will still result in “C” instead of “C”, that is actually a bug that has been long fixed. You are likely still using Typst 0.12 instead of 0.13. In the web app, you can click on the gear icon :gear: (bottom left) to find that setting.

That said, I think upright(C) is the preferred way of writing this anyway.

You’re right. My version is too low. :grinning:
