Template:Log-star

The following documentation is located at Template:Log-star/doc. [<Edit> Template:Log-star/doc]
[⧼Purge⧽ Template:Log-star]

The {{log-star}} mathematical formatting template displays a raised text-style low asterisk, since a superscript script-style asterisk is both too high and too small for some mathematical notation, e.g. for the iterated logarithm denoted log ⁎. It also links to iterated logarithm.

Code	Result
{{log-star}} vs. log{{sup|*}} vs. [[iterated logarithm|log{{sup|*}}]]	log ⁎ vs. log vs. log *

Examples

Examples with valid arguments:

Code	Result
{{math|{{log-star}}|&}}	log ⁎
{{math|{{log-star|10}}|&}}	log ⁎10
{{math|{{log-star|lg}}|&}}	lg ⁎
{{math|{{log-star|2}}|&}}	log ⁎2
{{math|{{log-star|lb}}|&}}	lb ⁎
{{math|{{log-star|''e''}}|&}}	log ⁎e
{{math|{{log-star|ln}}|&}}	ln ⁎
{{math|{{log-star|''a''}}|&}}	log ⁎a

The code

{{math|{{log-star|2}} 65536 {{=}} {{log^*|65536|2}}|&}}

yields

 

log ⁎2 65536 = 4

Examples with invalid arguments:

Code	Result
{{log-star|-1}}
{{log-star|0}}
{{log-star|1}}
