\chapter{Capsule summary \linebreak of commands}
\chapterdef{capsule}
This section contains one-line descriptions of the primitive \TeX\
commands and the \TeX\ commands defined in \plainTeX. These include both
control sequences and
special characters.
We've omitted those commands that are only intended for internal use
in the
\plainTeX\ definition (\knuth{Appendix~B}).
Note that ordinary characters
such as `|a|' or `|6|' are also commands, and indeed the most common
ones \seeconcept{character}.
To keep the descriptions brief, we've adopted
certain conventions:
\ulist
\li An asterisk in front of a command indicates that the command is primitive,
^^{primitive//command} i.e., built into the \TeX\ computer program
\seeconcept{primitive}.
\li The words ``music'', ``punctuation'', ``function'',
``symbol'', ``relation'', ``delimiter'', or ``operator'' in a command
description imply that the command is only legal in math modes.
\li The verb ``display'' applies to information
that \TeX\ sends to the ^{log file}, unless otherwise indicated. If
|\tracingonline| is positive, \TeX\ also sends that output to the
terminal. We use the noun ``display'' to refer to math displays (see
\xref{display math}), i.e., material between |$$|'s.
\li The phrase ``produce $x$'' indicates that the command will typeset
$x$ and put the result in a box.
We sometimes omit ``produce'' when the omission is unlikely to
cause confusion. For example, we describe |\alpha| as ``math Greek
letter $\alpha$'', not ``produce the math Greek letter $\alpha$''.
\margin{Remove explanations of ``space'' and ``glue''}
