Is there a shorthand/ instruction for math mode to simply retain words and not collapse the whitespace? I.e. rather than manually inserting spacing after each word with , and friends.

Here is the text I would like to have be treated like text with math symbols:

$${(i,t) where i in {Truths} and t in {Actuals Sets} and {Truths_i} cap {Actuals_t} ne o}$$

The result is that the non-symbol words are collapsed into a mush:

While it is possible to fix this manually (using , and friends):

$${(i,t), where, i in {Truths}, and, t in {Actuals Sets}, and, {Truths_i} cap {Actuals_t} ne o}

.. resulting in :

That seems like too much manual work.

What are the options here?

The following screenshot provides solutions for both inline math mode and display math mode. The solutions rely on the text macro, which is provided by the amsmath package. I also replaced o with emptyset.

documentclass{article} 

usepackage{amsmath} % for "text" macro

begin{document}

noindent

$(i,t)$, where $iintext{Truths}$ and $tintext{Actuals Sets}$ 

and $text{Truths}_icaptext{Actuals}_t ne emptyset$

[

text{$(i,t)$, where $iintext{Truths}$ and $tintext{Actuals Sets}$ 

and $text{Truths}_icaptext{Actuals}_t ne emptyset$}

]

end{document}

After some more looking the best I could find so far is to use text{some prose here} (oh and also breaking it into two lines and aligning) :

$$begin{aligned}

      {(i,t)text{ where i}in {TruthGrpIds}text{ and }t in {Actuals SetIds} \

      text{ and }{Truths_i} cap {Actuals_t} ne varnothing } \

end{aligned}$$

While I will keep an eye out for some further improvements, this will likely be the approach for the near term.
