Tilde

[Ulrich Germann]

Let me just quote from "The Comprehensive Latex Symbol List":

> \textasciitilde and \~{} produce raised, diacritic tildes. “Text” (i.e.,
> vertically centered) tildes can be generated with either the math-mode \sim
> command (shown in Table 54 on page 25), which produces a somewhat wide “”, or
> the textcomp package’s \texttildelow (shown in Table 36 on page 18), which
> produces a vertically centered “~” in most fonts but a baseline-oriented
> “~” in Computer Modern, txfonts, pxfonts, and various other fonts originating
> from the TEX world. If your goal is to typeset tildes in URLs or Unix
> filenames, your best bet is to use the url package, which has a number of nice
> features such as proper line-breaking of such names.
