I have following formula \sum_{k=0\\ k\equiv p + 1(\mathrm{mod}\;2)}^{p -1} but the \\ does not break the line below Sigma. How can I achieve this because AFAIK it will work in LaTeX? -- Respect, Shiv Shankar Dayal

Hi, you can try something like \sum_{\mstack{k=0, k\equiv p + 1 (\mtext{mod }2)}}^{p -1} but it will not be too pretty with such a large sub-index to the sum. /Mikael On Mon, Jan 15, 2024 at 2:41 PM Shiv Shankar Dayal wrote:

There is also \sum_{\startsubstack \NC a \NR \NC b \NR \stopsubstack} which imitates the \substack command from latex. OT but it is better to use one of \mod, \pmod, \bmod, rather than explicit \mtext{mod }. Aditya
