%
% \section{Introduction}
% 
% In mathematical equations, it is sometimes necessary to use indices
% (subscript or superscript) that are positioned at the left side of a
% symbol. 
% In tensor mathematics, for instance, some notations use a transponed
% sign at the left side of the symbol:
% \begin{eqnarray*}
% \leftidx{^\mathrm{t}}{\left(A_{ij}\right)}{} &=&
% \left(A_{ji}\right)
% \end{eqnarray*}
% 
% For symbols with a normal character height, this can be reached by
% simply put the indices without an own symbol:
% 
% \noindent
% \begin{minipage}[c]{0.79\linewidth}
% \leavevmode\begin{verbatim}
%${_1^2}a_3^4$
% \end{verbatim}
% \end{minipage}
% \begin{minipage}[c]{0.19\linewidth}
% ${_1^2}a_3^4$
% \end{minipage}
% 
% \noindent
% Is the symbol larger, this leads to unsatisfactory results:
% 
% \noindent
% \begin{minipage}[c]{0.79\linewidth}
% \leavevmode\begin{verbatim}
%${_1^2}\left(\frac{1}{b}\right)_3^4$
% \end{verbatim}
% \end{minipage}
% \begin{minipage}[c]{0.19\linewidth}
% ${_1^2}\left(\frac{1}{b}\right)_3^4$
% \end{minipage}
% 
% \noindent
% A better output can be reached by using the package |leftidx.sty|:
% 
% \noindent
% \begin{minipage}[c]{0.79\linewidth}
% \leavevmode\begin{verbatim}
%$\leftidx{_1^2}{\left(\frac{1}{b}\right)}{_3^4}$
% \end{verbatim}
% \end{minipage}
% \begin{minipage}[c]{0.19\linewidth}
%$\leftidx{_1^2}{\left(\frac{1}{b}\right)}{_3^4}$
% \end{minipage}
% 
% \section{Usage of the package}
% 
% Two commands are provided by the package.
% 
% \DescribeMacro{\leftidx}%
% The \cs{leftidx} command has the syntax
% \cs{leftidx}\marg{left indices}\marg{symbol}\marg{right indices}.
% This command typesets the symbol \meta{symbol} with indices on the
% left and on the right side.
% Example:
%
% \noindent 
% \begin{minipage}[c]{0.79\linewidth}
% \leavevmode\begin{verbatim}
%$\leftidx{_1^2}{\left(\frac{1}{b}\right)}{_3^4}$
% \end{verbatim}
% \end{minipage}
% \begin{minipage}[c]{0.19\linewidth}
% $\leftidx{_1^2}{\left(\frac{1}{b}\right)}{_3^4}$
% \end{minipage}
% 
% \noindent
% You may omit left or right indices by using empty arguments.
%
% The next example shows the same in the different mathematical
% styles:
% \def\asdf{\leftidx{_1^2}{\left(\frac1b\right)}{_3^4}}%
% \begin{displaymath}
% \displaystyle\asdf\quad\textstyle\asdf\quad
% \scriptstyle\asdf\quad\scriptscriptstyle\asdf
% \end{displaymath}
% As you can see from the left indices, the horizontal spacing of the
% left indices is not perfect.
% You have to adjust them by yourself.
% 
% \DescribeMacro{\ltrans}%
% The \cs{ltrans}\marg{symbol} command typesets a small upright ``t''
% as transponed sign on the left side of \meta{symbol}.
% Example:
% 
% \noindent
% \begin{minipage}[c]{0.79\linewidth}
% \leavevmode\begin{verbatim}
%$\ltrans{\underline{\underline{J}}}=
%\underline{\underline{J}}^{-1}$
% \end{verbatim}
% \end{minipage}
% \begin{minipage}[c]{0.19\linewidth}
% $\ltrans{\underline{\underline{J}}}=\underline{\underline{J}}^{-1}$
% \end{minipage}
