<title>UK TeX FAQ -- question label prinvalint</title>
</head><body>
<h3>The Principal Value Integral symbol</h3>
<p>This symbol (an integral sign, &lsquo;crossed&rsquo;) does not appear in any of
the fonts ordinarily available to (La)TeX users, but it can be
created by use of the following macros:
<pre>
\def\Xint#1{\mathchoice
   {\XXint\displaystyle\textstyle{#1}}%
   {\XXint\textstyle\scriptstyle{#1}}%
   {\XXint\scriptstyle\scriptscriptstyle{#1}}%
   {\XXint\scriptscriptstyle\scriptscriptstyle{#1}}%
   \!\int}
\def\XXint#1#2#3{{\setbox0=\hbox{$#1{#2#3}{\int}$}
     \vcenter{\hbox{$#2#3$}}\kern-.5\wd0}}
\def\ddashint{\Xint=}
\def\dashint{\Xint-}
</pre>

<code>\</code><code>dashint</code> gives a single-dashed integral sign, <code>\</code><code>ddashint</code> a
double-dashed one.
