(The b comes out too low.) The problem is not with the ' +(replacing the ' with +^c still give a double superscript error) and not that I haven't put in +enough { } (adding more of them doesn't stop the error message). The problem +is with the accent. It seems that TeX effectively removes { } around +any accented subformula.

(Basically, +module numbers are easier because they can be generated by the WEAVE +tool, though page numbers would generally be preferred by most +people.) I thought it might be interesting to bring this problem to a +rather wider audience. + +Generating page numbers comes down to the following TeX or LaTeX +problem. Given a macro with a set of numeric arguments, as in say + + \xref{1 2 4 4 6 7 7 7 7 41} + +(the arguments of which would be generated by \pagerefs) how easy +would it be for \xref to generate + + "See pages 1, 2, 4, 6, 7, and 41." + +i.e., the macro has to ignore duplicate arguments (which should be +already sorted, fortunately) and output "and" before the last number +in the list. The actual format of the arguments is fairly flexible, +since they'll be machine-generated. + +Neat LaTeX solutions on the back of a e-postcard, please! + +..Adrian + + Dr Adrian F.
