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.
