The use of LaTeX in a piped link or in a section heading does not appear in blue in the linked text or the table of content. Moreover, links to section headings containing LaTeX formulas do not always work as expected. Finally, having many LaTeX formulas may significantly increase the processing time of a page.

A ⊂ B {\displaystyle A\subset B} may mean that A is a proper subset of B , that is the two sets are different, and every element of A belongs to B ; expressed as a formula, A ≠ B ∧ ∀ x , x ∈ A ⇒ x ∈ ...
It is possible for A and B to be equal; if they are unequal, then A is a proper subset of B. The relationship of one set being a subset of another is called inclusion (or sometimes containment). A is a subset of B may also be expressed as B includes (or contains) A or A is included (or contained) in B. A k-subset is a subset with k elements.
The only subset of the empty set is the empty set itself; equivalently, the power set of the empty set is the set containing only the empty set. The number of elements of the empty set (i.e., its cardinality) is zero. The empty set is the only set with either of these properties. For any set A: The empty set is a subset of A

Given two sets A and B, A is a subset of B if every element of A is also an element of B. In particular, each set B is a subset of itself; a subset of B that is not equal to B is called a proper subset. If A is a subset of B, then one can also say that B is a superset of A, that A is contained in B, or that B contains A.
The word "proper" is often used in the same way as "strict". For example, a "proper subset" of a set S is a subset that is not equal to S itself, and a "proper class" is a class which is not also a set.
