+ | tensor: a package to typeset objects with mixed |
+ | upper, lower and preposed indices |
+ | (including nuclides) |
+ | |
+ | Philip G. Ratcliffe - version 2.1 (2004/12/20) |
+ --------------------------------------------------------
+
+* Copy tensor.sty to one of your TeX input directories.
+
+* LaTeX tensor.dtx for usage instructions and documentation.
+
+This is a complete revision and extension of the original "tensor" package by
+Mike Piff; it defines commands for typesetting tensors with mixed upper and
+lower indices. Correct pre-pending of indices is now possible while backwards
+compatibility is maintained. A command to typeset nuclides is also defined.
+
+The use of tensors with mixed upper and lower indices, in which the relative
+horizontal positions and spacing are significant, is common in both physics and
+mathematics. The commands defined in this package automatically maintain
+correct positioning. Spaces in an index list may optionally be filled with
+dots or other suitable symbols. Another usage addressed by this package is the
+pre-pending of indices.
+
+Two math-mode commands, \tensor and \indices, are defined (one of which,
+\tensor, remains backward compatible with the original definition by Mike
+Piff). A new text-mode command, \nuclide, to typeset nuclides is also defined.
+
+Change history:
+
+v2.1 corrected problem with 'color' package, added dotting capability, added
+starred form of \indices, minor spacing and LaTeX code improvements.
+
+v2.0 first official release of extended version.
+
+v1.0 last official release of original version.
