Apr 23, 2013 at 18:57 comment added Marty I like using "such that" (i.e., \text{such that}) whenever there's room for it. And with semicolons, it might seem like the paper is sadly winking );
Apr 23, 2013 at 16:56 comment added Ketil Tveiten I have sometimes seen semicolon used instead of colon or vertical bar, but I very much prefer the bar anyway, even if it gets ugly.
Apr 23, 2013 at 15:30 comment added Joseph Van Name People should use the vertical bar to avoid frowny faces as well. For example, you should write $\{(x,y)|x^{2}+y^{2}=1\}$ instead of $\{(x,y):x^{2}+y^{2}=1\}$. Editors do not like it when papers are filled with negative emoticons.

Apr 23, 2013 at 13:35 comment added Eric Tressler I vote for the colon, as it's not as overloaded as the vertical bar. I also think you should be consistent, whichever you choose.
