math mode...

I was wondering how to enable the displaymath and/or \[ \] commands because consider,

$\lim_{t\to0}$
notice how the $t\to0$ is adjacent, rather than below, the limit symbol. This happens to me in LaTeX only when I'm typing math symbols within text using the $ $ delimiters. So essentially my question is what command should I use to put the $t\to0$ beneath the limit symbol, and enable math display mode in general?

Two options:

Code:

[tex]\displaystyle\lim_{t\to0}\frac{\sin t}{t}=1[/tex]

$\displaystyle\lim_{t\to0}\frac{\sin t}{t}=1$

Code:

[tex]$\lim_{t\to0}\frac{\sin t}{t}=1[/tex]

$$\lim_{t\to0}\frac{\sin t}{t}=1$

Code:

\displaystyle

is rather handy inside latex as well. Most of my documents have a

\newcommand{\ds}{\displaystyle}

somewhere in them
