If you're trying to typeset "the conditional probability of event E given event H", you should write it -- in math mode -- as



P(E mid H)


or, better yet,



Pr(E mid H)


The macro Pr is a "math operator" and its output (the letter pair "Pr") is typeset using upright Latin letters. The macro mid inserts a vertical bar and surrounds it with whitespace, as is appropriate for a relational operator symbol.



In TeX and LaTeX, there is an absolutely fundamental distinction between text mode and math mode. Do familiarize yourself with the basics of LaTeX coding. A good starting point is the document A (Not So) Short Introduction to LaTeX, which is available in about two dozen languages.



A full MWE (minimum working example):



enter image description here



documentclassarticle
begindocument
$P(E mid H)$ or, better yet, $Pr(E mid H)$.

You can use either | or mid. Using mid is better as this adds the appropriate amount of spacing around the operator.



More importantly, you should enclose all of these in $...$ to put them in math-mode. You will get an error if you use ell or mid outside of math-mode.



Compare:



enter image description here



The full code:



documentclassarticle
usepackage
begindocument

text: P(E$ell$ H) or P(E|H) or P(E$mid$ H)

math-mode: $P(Eell H)$ or $P(E|H)$ or $P(Emid H)$
