LaTeX Matrix Macro
If you use LaTeX you know how hard it is to type
matrices and similar structures since it requires setting up an environment.
This is especially a problem for me since I keep notes in Mori using my
LaTeX
plugin. With the use of the below command,
though, my life is much
easier:
\newcommand{\mat}[2][rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr]{\left(\begin{array}{#1}#2 \\ \end{array} \right)}
This works for up to 50 rows, if I typed as many "r"s as I think I did. If you're using Mori Math, you'll probably want to add this line to your LaTeX template so the column spacing will look right:
\setlength{\arraycolsep}{2mm}
