The mvar template makes the argument italic and formats as mathematics. It is used to refer to individual variables in normal running text. It should not be used within a {{math}} template.
Note that digits in a variable name are conventionally not italic so {{math}} should be used instead in for example {{math|''x''<sub>1</sub>}} to produce x1. Functions and variables made up of multiple letters are conventionally set in upright letters so {{math}} should be used in that case too; for example {{math|cos}} to produce cos.
Usage
For example:
Let {{mvar|x}} be the maximum value used.
produces:
Let x be the maximum value used.
See also

- {{bigmath}}, the same as {{math}} but makes it bigger
- {{tmath}} wraps a TeX math expression in <math> tags
