Post $\TeX$ remarks
- I could not edit this page using my usual method (wikipediafs) so I could not fix the refs, could someone do it for me?
- It might be nice to have some extra columns here
- reference to the relevant paper
- date of discovery
- order in decimal
- possibly allow sorting by some of these columns?
I am seriously out of my depth on this topic, so I will leave it to others to consider whether these are worth doing ... -- Jjg 21:12, 30 April 2012 (CEST)

A lot of things could be added here. Each of the sporadic group names should have its own page. We only have the Mathieu groups as a distinguished page. --Ulf Rehmann 01:02, 1 May 2012 (CEST)
I like to propose that the word "group" be dropped from the second column and put in the header instead; eg $\newcommand{\d}{\cdot}$
| Notation | Name (group) | Order |
|---|---|---|
| $J_1$ | Janko | $2^3\d 3\d 5\d 7\d 11\d 19$ |
This is normal typographic practice in tables for units, for example. It would have the advantage that it would free up some horizontal space for other columns, as suggested above. --Jjg 19:24, 2 May 2012 (CEST)
