Using LaTeX, it bothers me a bit that the ISO standard for displaying integrals and derivatives is not used when using the snippet view to insert integrals or derivatives
The technical correct way to write derivatives and integral is shown:
$\int\limits_a^b f(x) \color{red}\text{d}x$ ⭕
$\color{red}\frac{\text{d}}{\text{d}x} \color{white}f(x)$ ⭕
$\int\limits_a^b f(x) \color{red}dx$ ❌
$\color{red}\frac{d}{dx} \color{white}f(x)$ ❌
This is discussed in forums like this:
Now, it is possible to ignore the standardization, as many many years of mathematical use of the italicized$dx$ has made us feel indifferent to the standard. So, for some people as long as they are not doing something outside of math, $dx$ is ok:
However, TUG.org has mentioned this issue in the past before, and when it comes to the sciences, d should be upright:

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
Describe the solution you'd like [Required]
Make the differencial$dx \rightarrow \text{d}x$ :
$\int\limits_a^b f(x) \color{red}\text{d}x$ ⭕
$\color{red}\frac{\text{d}}{\text{d}x} \color{white}f(x)$ ⭕
$\int\limits_a^b f(x) \color{red}dx$ ❌
$\color{red}\frac{d}{dx} \color{white}f(x)$ ❌
The other option would be to allow both$dx$
and$\text{d}x$ , but that might confuse people.
