Description

Currently, it seems that MathCAT reads the vertical bar as "divides" by default. Note that the vertical bar can be used to indicate norm, absolute value, conditioning (probability), set builder notation, divisibility, etc. In my experience, I encounter cases of absolute value and conditioning way more than the rest, but that is likely because I am taking more statistics classes and my experience is not representative. That said, I don't think that divisibility is the most common context either. While the eventual goal would be to read the vertical bars in a context-aware manner, for now, I'd say the default reading should be "bar" and not "divides." It is shorter, more neutral, and less misleading.
