The Current +Maintainer is Daniel H. Luecking. The Base Interpreters associated with +mathdots are plain TeX and LaTeX + +Purpose: +======= +This package changes the basic LaTeX and plain TeX commands \ddots and +\vdots so that they properly change size when font sizes change, and +when they are used in superscripts and subscripts. It also adds the +command \iddots (for inverse diagonal dots) which slants the opposite +way from \ddots. + +In addition, if it detects amsmath in LaTeX (or AMSTeX in plain TeX) it +defines improved versions of the \dddot and \ddddot commands that place +three and four dots on a math symbol (similar to the math accent +commands \dot and \ddot). These also are arranged to change size +correctly and some placement bugs are corrected. + +Other (minor) improvements: the commands \vdots, \ddots and \iddots +select the dot from the math fonts instead of the text fonts, so they +always match math punctuation dots. The \dddot and \ddddot commands +select the accent dot (same one placed by \dot). + +File list: + +README This file +mathdots.dtx The code +mathdots.pdf The manual +mathdots.ins unpacking script +mdotest.tex LaTeX test file +plmdotest.tex Plain TeX test file (requires loading amstex.tex and the + and something to define the commands \eightpoint, + \ninepoint, \tenpoint and \twelvepoint) + +Installation: + +Run tex or latex on mathdots.ins to unpack the files.
