To avoid this dichotomy, I would suggest writing in language
if ``x`` equals zero.

For code (if it makes sense to type it into Sage), use double quotes.
``self``, ``x==0``.
For math, use single quotes `x=0`,

Hi,
Skimming over the reference manual, it seems that there is no clear
standard regarding how to write some things. For instance, sometimes
self is double-quoted (``self``), sometimes it isn't. Sometimes True
and False are double-quoted, sometimes not. Sometimes the name of
arguments (say, x) is single-quoted (when they are mathematical
variables), sometimes they are double-quoted, and sometimes they are
not quoted at all, etc. etc. etc.
What is the preferred way to go?
Also, to describe what a function does, is it better to write maths
in latex (i.e., if `x = 0`) or in "sage code" (i.e., if ``x == 0``) ?
Thanks,
