    I have a list of numbers one of which has an absolute value sign.  Is there a way to do that in UEB or do I have to go into Nemeth?

    13, -13, -7, 0, 5.  The -7 is in the absolute value sign

    If what you are working on is a math or science book and you are using the Nemeth math code, then you would need to use the switch indicators for the absolute value (you also need it for the negative numbers, so I would do the whole list in Nemeth).  If this is some other type of text that just happens to have math in it, the UEB symbol is the vertical bar (dots 456, 1256).
