Mar 9, 2013 · Just put this code into your preamble. Then you can use := as usual, and you'll get horizontal symmetry. Much easier to use than \coloneqq, in my opinion.

Mar 9, 2013 · The top line is to show that spacing is right. original answer. Every character can be turned into a command in math mode, but some special tricks are needed. \documentclass{article} \usepackage{xcolor} \begingroup\lccode`~=`=. \lowercase{\endgroup\def~}{\mathrel{\textcolor{green}{\standardequals}}}

Sep 16, 2018 · the answer has been posed but your original didn't work as you used \string whatever where \string makes (just) the w a catcode 12 punctuation character so not equal to the letter w, and then you have a spurious {...} around the \newcommand\result so that whichever branch is taken \result is defined but not visible after the test. –
