classElement

Element functions can be customized with set and show rules.

Forced use of a certain math class.

This is useful to treat certain symbols as if they were of a different class, e.g. to make a symbol behave like a relation. The class of a symbol defines the way it is laid out, including spacing around it, and how its scripts are attached by default. Note that the latter can always be overridden using limits and scripts.

Example

#let loves = math.class(
  "relation",
  sym.suit.heart,
)

$x loves y and y loves 5$
