Markup for Common sets of numbers?

The guidelines for § Common sets of numbers mention using \textbfin LaTeX. What about the LaTeX) commands

• \C ($\mathbb {C}$)
• \H ($\mathbb {H}$)
• \N ($\mathbb {N}$)
• \Q ($\mathbb {Q}$)
• \R ($\mathbb {R}$)
• \Z ($\mathbb {Z}$)

all of which render in blackboard? -- Shmuel (Seymour J.) Metz Username:Chatul (talk) 14:02, 25 July 2024 (UTC)

fixing {{Percent}}

Hoping someone with template editor rights and more knowledge of Lua can fix {{Percent}}, which is outputting hyphen-minus (---) and not minus-minus (−), e.g.: {{percent|-1}} → -1%

That should be producing: −1% —Joeyconnick (talk) 23:28, 29 July 2024 (UTC)

Integral not bracketing the integrand

Does:

$\alpha (x,t)=e^{i\left(k_{0}x-\omega _{0}t\right)}\int _{-\infty }^{\infty }dk\,A(k)e^{i(k-k_{0})\left(x-\omega '_{0}t\right)}.$

warrant reformatting on the grounds of being confusing to those unfamiliar with the practice, or does MOS:STYLERET apply?

Sign conventions and signatures

Are there any wiki guidelines on sign conventions and signatures, e.g., is a Lorentzian metric (+,-,-,-), (-,-,-,+), (-,+,+,+) or (+,+,+,-)? There are are multiple topics where the literature does not have a consistent choice of sign conventions. -- Shmuel (Seymour J.) Metz Username:Chatul (talk) 14:30, 25 September 2024 (UTC)

Function notation and screen readers

Hello all, Per MOS:FNOF in this MOS article, we should use italic f rather than the U+0192 ƒ character for functions because screen readers don't support the latter, as of 2010. However, that was 14 years ago. Is there any new info on what characters are supported? Is this guidance irrelevant because of some other happenings in the WikiMath realm? I am not a mathematical editor and wouldn't know.

Thanks!
