I'm creating a function (HInt) for a traditional output for integrates. For example:

HInt[f, x]

enter image description here

If I specify just the domain, like this:

HInt[f, {v, V}]

I have:

How to modify my function in order to obtain, the following result, if I specify the domain. In other words, how to set de ScriptCapital letters in my code.

enter image description here

Here is my code:

HInt/:MakeBoxes[HInt[f_,x_],StandardForm]:=RowBox[{"\[Integral]",ToBoxes[f],"\[DoubleStruckD]",ToBoxes[x]}]
HInt/:MakeBoxes[HInt[f_,{x_,x1_}],StandardForm]:=RowBox[{SubscriptBox["\[Integral]",ToBoxes[x1]],ToBoxes[f],"\[DoubleStruckD]",ToBoxes[x]}]

Examples to ilustrate:

HInt[f, {a, A}]
HInt[f, {s, S}]
HInt[f, {v, V}]
HInt[f, {g, G}]

    $\begingroup$ Does this question boils down to how to convert V to "\[ScriptCapitalV]"? $\endgroup$ – Kuba♦ Jan 30 at 20:04
  • $\begingroup$ How to implement \[ScriptCapital #] (where # can be any letter) in my code. This way every time that I put HInt[f, {#, #}] he gives de integrate output with the ScriptCapital. $\endgroup$ – Mateus Jan 30 at 20:09
  • $\begingroup$ I don't get why do you say {#,#} if {v, V} has two different characters. What about characters that don't have script capital version? Please provide couple of examples of HInt[f, ...] and show what should be the final RowBox[...]. $\endgroup$ – Kuba♦ Jan 30 at 20:11

Since the question is not very precise I will focus on the core of the problem, namely how to convert n to "\[DoubleStruckN]"

ToDSChar // ClearAll
ToDSChar // Attributes = {HoldAll, Listable};

ToDSChar[n_Symbol] := ToDSChar[#] &@ToString[Unevaluated[n], InputForm]
ToDSChar[str_String] := Which[
  StringLength[str] != 1, str,
  97 <= ToCharacterCode[str][[1]] <= 122, "\\[DoubleStruck" <> ToUpperCase@str <> "]",
  65 <= ToCharacterCode[str][[1]] <= 90,   "\\[DoubleStruckCapital" <> str <> "]",
  True, str
]

ToDSChar[x : Except[_List]] := MakeBoxes[x]

RawBoxes /@ ToDSChar@{a, B, cd, 1, s, expr}

I believe this accomplishes what you want:

First we define the function sc (for Script):

sc[symb_] := 
Which[LowerCaseQ[ToString[symb]], 
Symbol[StringJoin["\\[Script", ToUpperCase@ToString[symb], "]"]], 
UpperCaseQ[ToString[symb]], 
Symbol[StringJoin["\\[ScriptCapital", ToUpperCase@ToString[symb], 
"]"]], True, symb]

sc /@ {A, b, 1}

enter image description here

Then we define the function int:

int[integrand_, intVar_, lower_] := Integrate[integrand, {intVar, lower, ""}] // HoldForm

Then:

int[f, sc[a], sc[A]]

enter image description here

  • $\begingroup$ It will fail if A or b have values. $\endgroup$ – Kuba♦ Feb 3 at 20:53
  • $\begingroup$ @Kuba I didn't think it mattered, because it seems like he's only asking a typesetting question, and he's not trying to typeset values with DoubleStruck or Script. But I modified it to simply return a value, if given, rather than failing. $\endgroup$ – theorist Feb 3 at 21:47
