Question

I’d like to express the following sentence (source_location is also italic, it’s not correctly rendered):

Each entry has a list of tuple: < source_location, R/W, trip_counter, occurrence, killed (explained in the later) >

My current workaround for this is:

$ \left\langle
\textit{source\_location}, \textit{R/W}, \textit{trip\_counter},
\textit{occurrence}, \textit{killed} \text{(explained in the later)}
\right\rangle $

I’m using 2-column paper. This < .. > is too long, but no line break because it is a math. How do I automatically (or manually) put line break in such case? It seems that \left\langle and \right\rangle should be in a single math. So, hard to break into multiple maths.

$<$ and $>$ would be an alternative, but I don’t like it.

Answer 1

Why not define a new command:

\newcommand{\tuple}[5]{$\langle$\textit{#1}, \textit{#2}, \textit{#3}, \textit{#4},
   \textit{#5} (explained in the latter)$\rangle$}

Then use \tuple{sourcelocation}{R/W}{tripcounter}{occurrence}{killed}
