+expressions.  Thus if <replaceable>cols</replaceable> is &#8216;<literal>|c|</literal>&#8217; then this multicolumn

+entry two and entry three there is a single vertical rule; despite that
+the <replaceable>cols</replaceable> in both of the surrounding <literal>multicolumn</literal>&#8217;s call for
+a vertical rule, you only get one rule.  Between entry three and entry

+<para>All &latex; commands are either <firstterm>fragile</firstterm> or <firstterm>robust</firstterm>.
+Footnotes, line breaks, any command that has an optional argument, and
+many more, are fragile.  A fragile command can break when it is used in
+the argument to certain commands.  To prevent such commands from
+breaking they must be preceded by the command <literal>\protect</literal>.
+</para>
+<para>For example, when &latex; runs the <literal>\section{<replaceable>section
+name</replaceable>}</literal> command it writes the <replaceable>section name</replaceable> text to the
+<filename>.aux</filename> auxiliary file, moving it there for use elsewhere in the
+document such as in the table of contents.  Any argument that is
+internally expanded by &latex; without typesetting it directly is
+referred to as a <firstterm>moving argument</firstterm>.  A command is fragile if it can
+expand during this process into invalid &tex; code.  Some examples of
+moving arguments are those that appear in the <literal>\caption{..}</literal>
+command (see <link linkend="figure">figure</link>), in the <literal>\thanks{..}</literal> command
+(see <link linkend="_005cmaketitle">\maketitle</link>), and in @-expressions in the <literal>tabular</literal> and
+<literal>array</literal> environments (see <link linkend="tabular">tabular</link>).
+</para>
+<para>If you get strange errors from commands used in moving arguments, try
+preceding it with <literal>\protect</literal>.  Every fragile commands must be
+protected with their own <literal>\protect</literal>.  
+</para>
+<para>Although usually a <literal>\protect</literal> command doesn&#8217;t hurt, length
+commands are robust and should not be preceded by a <literal>\protect</literal>
+command. Nor can a <literal>\protect</literal> command be used in the argument to
+<literal>\addtocounter</literal> or <literal>\setcounter</literal> command.
+</para>
+<para>In this example the <literal>caption</literal> command gives a mysterious error
+about an extra curly brace.  Fix the problem by preceding each
+<literal>\raisebox</literal> command with <literal>\protect</literal>.

+
+<p>Some typographic elements, such as figures and tables, cannot be broken
+across pages.  They must be typeset outside of the normal flow of text,
+for instance floating to the top of a later page.
+</p>
+<p>LaTeX can have a number of different classes of floating material.
+The default is the two classes, <code>figure</code> (see <a href="#figure">figure</a>) and
+<code>table</code> (see <a href="#table">table</a>), but you can create a new class with the
+package <samp>float</samp>.
+</p>
+<p>Within any one float class LaTeX always respects the order, so that
+the first figure in a document source must be typeset before the second
+figure.  However, LaTeX may mix the classes, so it can happen that
+while the first table appears in the source before the first figure, it
+appears in the output after it.
+</p>
+<p>The placement of floats is subject to parameters, given below, that
+limit the number of floats that can appear at the top of a page, and the
+bottom, etc. If so many floats are queued up that the limits prevent
+them all from fitting on a page then LaTeX places what it can and
+defers the rest to the next page.  In this way, floats may be typset far
+from their place in the source.  In particular, a float that is big can
+migrate to the end of the document. But then because all floats in a
+class must appear in sequential order, every subsequent float in that
+class also appears at the end.
+</p>
+<a name="index-placement-of-floats"></a>
+<a name="index-specifier_002c-float-placement"></a>
+<p>In addition to changing the parameters, for each float you can tweak
+where the float placement algorithm tries to place it by using its
+<var>placement</var> argument.  The possible values are a sequence of the
+letters below. The default for both <code>figure</code> and <code>table</code>, in
+both <code>article</code> and <code>book</code> classes, is <code>tbp</code>.

+<dd><p>(Bottom)&mdash;at the bottom of a text page.  (However, <code>b</code> is not
+allowed for full-width floats (<code>figure*</code>) with double-column
+output.  To ameliorate this, use the <samp>stfloats</samp> or
+<samp>dblfloatfix</samp> package, but see the discussion at caveats in the
+FAQ: <a href="http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=2colfloat">http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=2colfloat</a>.

+<a name="index-here_002c-putting-floats"></a>
+<a name="index-float-package"></a>
+<p>To absolutely force a float to appear &ldquo;here&rdquo;, you can
+<code>\usepackage{float}</code> and use the <code>H</code> specifier which it
+defines.  For further discussion, see the FAQ entry at
+<a href="http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=figurehere">http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=figurehere</a>.

+ignores the restrictions on both the number of floats that can appear

+The <code>!</code> specifier does <em>not</em> mean &ldquo;put the float here&rdquo;;
+see above.
+</p>
+</dd>
+</dl>
+
+<p>Note: the order in which letters appear in the <var>placement</var> argument
+does not change the order in which LaTeX tries to place the float;
+for instance, <code>btp</code> has the same effect as <code>tbp</code>.  All that
+<var>placement</var> does is that if a letter is not present then the
+algorithm does not try that location.  Thus, LaTeX&rsquo;s default of
+<code>tbp</code> is to try every location except placing the float where it
+occurs in the source.
+</p>
+<p>To prevent LaTeX from moving floats to the end of the document or a
+chapter you can use a <code>\clearpage</code> command to start a new page and
+insert all pending floats. If a pagebreak is undesirable then you can
+use the <samp>afterpage</samp> package and issue
+<code>\afterpage{\clearpage}</code>.  This will wait until the current page
+is finished and then flush all outstanding floats.
+</p>
+<p>LaTeX can typeset a float before where it appears in the source
+(although on the same output page) if there is a <code>t</code> specifier in the
+<var>placement</var> paramater.  If this is not desired, and deleting the
+<code>t</code> is not acceptable as it keeps the float from being placed at
+the top of the next page, then you can prevent it by either using the
+<samp>flafter</samp> package or using the command
+<a name="index-_005csuppressfloats"></a>
+<code>\suppressfloats[t]</code>, which causes floats for the top position on

+The second is that, instead of <code>tabular</code>&rsquo;s parameter
+<code>\tabcolsep</code>, LaTeX&rsquo;s intercolumn space in an array is governed
+by
+<a name="index-_005carraycolsep"></a>
+<code>\arraycolsep</code> which gives half the width between columns. The

+<p>To obtain arrays with braces the standard is to use the <samp>amsmath</samp>

+surrounded by parentheses&nbsp;<code>(..)</code>, <code>bmatrix</code> for an array

 </p>
-<p>LaTeX will create a file named <var>filename</var> with the content
-<var>contents-of-file</var> preceded by a header comment indicating how and
-when the file was generated. If the file already exists then nothing will
-happen.
+<p>This environment can be used anywhere in the preamble, although it often
+appears before the <code>\documentclass</code> command.  It is typically used
+when a source file requires a nonstandard style or class file.  The
+environment will write that file to the directory containing the source
+and thus make the source file self-contained.  Another use is to include
+<code>bib</code> references in the file, again to make it self-contained.
 </p>
-<p>You can also use the <code>filecontents</code> package, which has the
-following advantages:
+<p>The environment checks whether a file of that name already exists and if
+so, does not do anything.  There is a <samp>filecontents</samp> package that
+redefines the <code>filecontents</code> environment so that instead of doing
+nothing in that case, it will overwrite the existing file.
 </p>
-<ul>
-<li> If the file already exists, then it will be overwritten.
-
-</li><li> You can use the <code>filecontents</code> environment at any point after the
-declaration <code>\usepackage{filecontents}</code>, not just before
-<code>\documentclass</code>.
-
-</li><li> The <code>filecontents</code> package also provides a <code>filecontents*</code>
-environment which is used in the same way as the <code>filecontents</code>
-environment except that it won&rsquo;t insert any leading comment, so it is
-better suited to create files which aren&rsquo;t in LaTeX format.
-
-</li></ul>
-
-<p>The <code>filecontents</code> environment only creates the file, and is
-unrelated to using the created file.  So you need to use, for
-instance, <code>\input</code> or <code>\usepackage</code> or <code>\bibliography</code>
-or whatever is applicable, to use the created file.

-<p>This environment is also useful to make a document in a self-contained

+text, leaving a blank line produces a new paragraph.
 </p>
+<p>To compare the two: in the <code>quotation</code> environment, paragraphs are
+indented by 1.5em and the space between paragraphs is small,
+<code>0pt plus 1pt</code>.  In the <code>quote</code> environment, paragraphs are
+not indented and there is vertical space between paragraphs (it is the
+rubber length <code>\parsep</code>).  Thus, the <code>quotation</code> environment
+may be more suitable for documents where new paragraphs are marked by an
+indent rather than by a vertical separation.  In addition, <code>quote</code>
+may be more suitable for a short quotation or a sequence of short
+quotations.

+</p>
+<p>The <var>cols</var> argument overrides the <code>array</code> or <code>tabular</code>
+environment&rsquo;s intercolumn area default adjoining this multicolumn
+entry. To affect that area, this argument can contain vertical bars
+<code>|</code> indicating the placement of vertical rules, and <code>@{..}</code>
+expressions.  Thus if <var>cols</var> is &lsquo;<samp>|c|</samp>&rsquo; then this multicolumn
+entry will be centered and a vertical rule will come in the intercolumn
+area before it and after it.  This table details the exact behavior.

+the <var>cols</var> in both of the surrounding <code>multicolumn</code>&rsquo;s call for

-<p>The <code>\multicolumn</code> command makes an entry that spans several
-columns.  The first mandatory argument, <var>cols</var>, specifies the
-number of columns to span.  The second mandatory argument, <var>pos</var>,
-specifies the formatting of the entry; <code>c</code> for centered, <code>l</code>
-for flushleft, <code>r</code> for flushright.  The third mandatory argument,
-<var>text</var>, specifies what text to put in the entry.
+<p>Note that although the <code>tabular</code> specification by default puts a

+or <code>scaled <var>factor</var></code>, where a <var>factor</var> of &lsquo;<samp>1000</samp>&rsquo;

+<p>All LaTeX commands are either <em>fragile</em> or <em>robust</em>.
+Footnotes, line breaks, any command that has an optional argument, and
+many more, are fragile.  A fragile command can break when it is used in
+the argument to certain commands.  To prevent such commands from
+breaking they must be preceded by the command <code>\protect</code>.
+</p>
+<p>For example, when LaTeX runs the <code>\section{<var>section
+name</var>}</code> command it writes the <var>section name</var> text to the
+<samp>.aux</samp> auxiliary file, moving it there for use elsewhere in the
+document such as in the table of contents.  Any argument that is
+internally expanded by LaTeX without typesetting it directly is
+referred to as a <em>moving argument</em>.  A command is fragile if it can
+expand during this process into invalid TeX code.  Some examples of
+moving arguments are those that appear in the <code>\caption{..}</code>
+command (see <a href="#figure">figure</a>), in the <code>\thanks{..}</code> command
+(see <a href="#g_t_005cmaketitle">\maketitle</a>), and in @-expressions in the <code>tabular</code> and
+<code>array</code> environments (see <a href="#tabular">tabular</a>).

+<p>If you get strange errors from commands used in moving arguments, try

+protected with their own <code>\protect</code>.  
+</p>
+<p>Although usually a <code>\protect</code> command doesn&rsquo;t hurt, length
+commands are robust and should not be preceded by a <code>\protect</code>
+command. Nor can a <code>\protect</code> command be used in the argument to
+<code>\addtocounter</code> or <code>\setcounter</code> command.
+</p>
+<p>In this example the <code>caption</code> command gives a mysterious error

+<p>A <em>length</em> is a measure of distance.  Many LaTeX commands take a
 length as an argument.
 </p>
+<p>Lengths come in two types.  A <em>rigid length</em> (what Plain TeX
+calls a <em>dimen</em>) such as <code>10pt</code> cannot contain a <code>plus</code> or
+<code>minus</code> component.  A <em>rubber length</em> (what Plain TeX calls
+a <em>skip</em>) can contain those, as with <code>1cm plus0.05cm
+minus0.01cm</code>.  These give the ability to stretch or shrink; the length
+in the prior sentence could appear in the output as long as 1.05&nbsp;cm
+or as short as 0.99&nbsp;cm, depending on what TeX&rsquo;s typesetting
+algorithm finds optimum.
+</p>
+<p>The <code>plus</code> or <code>minus</code> component of a rubber length can contain
+a <em>fill</em> component, as in <code>1in plus2fill</code>.  This gives the
+length infinite stretchability or shrinkability, so that the length in
+the prior sentence can be set by TeX to any distance greater than or
+equal to 1&nbsp;inch.  TeX actually provides three infinite glue
+components <code>fil</code>, <code>fill</code>, and <code>filll</code>, such that the
+later ones overcome the earlier ones, but only the middle value is
+ordinarily used.  See <a href="#g_t_005chfill">\hfill</a>, See <a href="#g_t_005cvfill">\vfill</a>.
+</p>
+<p>Multiplying an entire rubber length by a number turns it into a rigid
+length, so that after <code>\setlength{\ylength}{1in plus 0.2in}</code>
+and <code>\setlength{\zlength}{3\ylength}</code> then the value of
+<code>\zlength</code> is <code>3in</code>.

+height of the lower case letter x, is often used for vertical
+lengths. Similarly <em>em</em>, traditionally the width of the capital
+letter M, is often used for horizontal lengths (there is also
+<code>\enspace</code>, which is <code>0.5em</code>).  Use of these can help make a
+definition work better across font changes.  For example, a definition
+of the vertical space between list items given as
+<code>\setlength{\itemsep}{1ex plus 0.05ex minus 0.01ex}</code> is more
+likely to still be reasonable if the font is changed than a definition
+given in points.

-<p>To get an expression <i>exp</i> to appear as a subscript, you just type
-<code>_{</code><i>exp</i><code>}</code>.  To get <i>exp</i> to appear as a
-superscript, you type <code>^{</code><i>exp</i><code>}</code>. LaTeX handles
-superscripted superscripts and all of that stuff in the natural way.
-It even does the right thing when something has both a subscript and a
-superscript.
+<p>In math mode, use the caret character&nbsp;<code>^</code> to make the
+<var>exp</var> appear as a superscript, ie. type <code>^{<var>exp</var>}</code>.
+Similarly, in math mode, underscore&nbsp;<code>_{<var>exp</var>}</code> makes a
+subscript out of <var>exp</var>.
+</p>
+<p>In this example the <code>0</code> and <code>1</code> appear as subscripts while the
+<code>2</code> is a superscript.

+<div class="example">
+<pre class="example">\( (x_0+x_1)^2 \)

+<code>e^{-2x}</code>.
+</p>
+<p>LaTeX handles superscripts on superscripts, and all of that stuff, in
+the natural way, so expressions such as <code>e^{x^2}</code> and
+<code>x_{a_0}</code> will look right.  It also does the right thing when
+something has both a subscript and a superscript.  In this example the
+<code>0</code> appears at the bottom of the integral sign while the <code>10</code>
+appears at the top.
+</p> 
+<div class="example">
+<pre class="example">\int_0^{10} x^2 \,dx
+</pre></div>
+
+<p>You can put a superscript or subscript before a symbol with a construct
+such as <code>{}_t K^2</code> in math mode (the initial <code>{}</code> prevents
+the prefixed subscript from being attached to any prior symbols in the
+expression).
+</p>
+<p>Outside of math mode, a construct like <code>A
+test$_\textnormal{subscript}$</code> will produce a subscript typeset in
+text mode, not math mode.  Note that there are packages specialized for
+writing Chemical formulas such as <samp>mhchem</samp>.

-<p>The <code>\hspace</code> command adds horizontal space.  The <var>length</var>
-argument can be expressed in any terms that LaTeX understands:
-points, inches, etc.  It is a rubber length.  You can add both
-negative and positive space with an <code>\hspace</code> command; adding
-negative space is like backspacing.
+<p>Add the horizontal space given by <var>length</var>.  The <var>length</var> is a
+rubber length, that is, it may contain a <code>plus</code> or <code>minus</code>
+component, in any unit that LaTeX understands (see <a href="#Lengths">Lengths</a>).
 </p>
-<p>LaTeX normally removes horizontal space that comes at the beginning
-or end of a line.  To preserve this space, use the optional <code>*</code>
-form.
+<p>This command can add both positive and negative space; adding negative
+space is like backspacing.
 </p>
+<p>Normally when TeX breaks a paragraph into lines it discards white
+space (glues and kerns) that would come at the start of a line, so you
+get an inter-word space or a line break between words but not both. This
+command&rsquo;s starred version <code>\hspace*{..}</code> puts a non-discardable
+invisible item in front of the space, so the space appears in the
+output.

-<p>The <code>\ </code> (space) command produces a normal interword space.  It&rsquo;s
-useful after punctuation which shouldn&rsquo;t end a sentence.  For example,
-<code>the article in Proc.\ Amer.\ Math\. Soc.\ is fundamental</code>.  It
-is also often used after control sequences, as in <code>\TeX\ is a
-nice system.</code>

+<p>Mark a punctuation character, typically a period, as either ending a
+sentence or as ending an abbreviation.
 </p>
-<p>In normal circumstances, <code>\</code><tt class="key">tab</tt> and <code>\</code><tt class="key">newline</tt>
-are equivalent to <code>\ </code>.
+<p>By default, in justifying a line LaTeX adjusts the space after a
+sentence-ending period (or a question mark, exclamation point, comma, or
+colon) more than the space between words
+(see <a href="#g_t_005cfrenchspacing">\frenchspacing</a>). LaTeX assumes that the period ends a
+sentence unless it is preceded by a capital letter, in which case it
+takes that period for part of an abbreviation.  Note that if a
+sentence-ending period is immediately followed by a right parenthesis or
+bracket, or right single or double quote, then the intersentence space
+follows that parenthesis or quote.
+</p>
+<p>If you have a period ending an abbreviation whose last letter is not a
+capital letter, and that abbreviation is not the last word in the
+sentence, then follow that period with a backslash-space (<code>\ </code>) or
+a tie (<code>~</code>).  Examples are <code>Nat.\ Acad.\ Science</code>, and
+<code>Mr.~Bean</code>, and <code>(manure, etc.)\ for sale</code>.
+</p>
+<p>For other use of <code>\ </code>, see also <a href="#g_t_005c_0028SPACE_0029-after-CS">\(SPACE) after CS</a>.
+</p>
+<p>In the opposite situation, if you have a capital letter followed by a
+period that ends the sentence, then put <code>\@</code> on the left of that
+period.  For example, <code>book by the MAA\@.</code> will have intersentence
+spacing after the period.
+</p>
+<p>In contrast, putting <code>\@</code> on the right of a period tells TeX
+that the period does not end the sentence.  In the example
+<code>reserved words (if, then, etc.\@) are different</code>, TeX will put
+interword space after the closing parenthesis (note that <code>\@</code> is
+before the parenthesis).

+<h3 class="section">19.4 <code>\ </code> after a control sequence</h3>
+
+<p>The <code>\ </code> command is often used after control sequences to keep them
+from gobbling the space that follows, as in <code>\TeX\ is a nice
+system.</code>  And, under normal circumstances <code>\</code><tt class="key">tab</tt> and

+<p>Some people prefer to use <code>{}</code> for the same purpose, as in
+<code>\TeX{} is a nice system.</code> This has the advantage that you can
+always write it the same way, like <code>\TeX{}</code>, whether it is
+followed by a space or by a punctuation mark. Please compare:

+
+
+<p>When you define user commands (see <a href="#g_t_005cnewcommand-_0026-_005crenewcommand">\newcommand &amp; \renewcommand</a>) you
+can prevent the space gobbling after the command by using the package
+<code>xspace</code> and inserting <code>\xspace</code> at the end of the definition

-<p>Each letter is a <code>letter</code> environment, whose argument is the name
-and address of the recipient.  For example, you might have:
+<p>Produce one or more letters.  
+</p>
+<p>Each letter is in a separate <code>letter</code> environment, whose argument
+<var>recipient address</var> often contains multiple lines separated with a
+double backslash&nbsp;(<code>\\</code>).  For example, you might have:
 </p>
 <div class="example">
-<pre class="example"> \begin{letter}{Mr. Joe Smith\\ 2345 Princess St.
-      \\ Edinburgh, EH1 1AA}
+<pre class="example"> \begin{letter}{Mr. Joe Smith \\ 
+      2345 Princess St. \\ 
+      Edinburgh, EH1 1AA}
    ...
  \end{letter}
 </pre></div>
 
-<p>The letter itself begins with the <code>\opening</code> command.  The text of
-the letter follows.  It is typed as ordinary LaTeX input.  Commands that
-make no sense in a letter, like <code>\chapter</code>, do not work.  The letter
-closes with a <code>\closing</code> command.
+<p>The start of the <code>letter</code> environment resets the page number to 1,
+and the footnote number to 1 also.
+</p>
+<p>The <var>sender address</var> and <var>sender name</var> are common to all of the
+letters, whether there is one or more, so these are best put in the
+preamble.  As with the recipient address, often <var>sender address</var>
+contains multiple lines separated by a double
+backslash&nbsp;(<code>\\</code>).  LaTeX will put the <var>sender name</var>
+under the closing, after a vertical space for the traditional
+hand-written signature; it also can contain multiple lines.
+</p>
+<p>Each letter environment begins with a required <code>\opening</code> command
+such as <code>\opening{Dear Madam or Sir:}</code>.  The <var>letter body</var>
+text is ordinary LaTeX so it can contain everything from from
+enumerated lists to displayed math, except that commands such as
+<code>\chapter</code> that make no sense in a letter are turned off.  Each
+letter environment typically ends with a <code>\closing</code> command such as
+<code>\closing{Yours,}</code>.
 </p>
 <a name="index-_005c_005c-for-letters"></a>
-<p>After the <code>closing</code>, you can have additional material.  The
-<code>\cc</code> command produces the usual &ldquo;cc: &hellip;&rdquo;.  There&rsquo;s also a
-similar <code>\encl</code> command for a list of enclosures. With both these
-commands, use <code>\\</code> to separate the items.
+<p>Additional material may come after the <code>\closing</code>.  You can say who
+is receiving a copy of the letter with a command like <code>\cc{the
+Boss \\ the Boss's Boss}</code>.  There&rsquo;s a similar <code>\encl</code> command for
+a list of enclosures.  And, you can add a postscript with <code>\ps</code>.
+</p>
+<p>LaTeX&rsquo;s default is to indent the signature and the <code>\closing</code>
+above it by a length of <code>\longindentation</code>.  By default this is
+<code>0.5\textwidth</code>. To make them flush left, put
+<code>\setlength{\longindentation}{0em}</code> in your preamble.
+</p>
+<p>To set a fixed date use something like
+<code>\renewcommand{\today}{2015-Oct-12}</code>.  If put in your preamble
+then it will apply to all the letters.
 </p>
+<p>This example shows only one <code>letter</code> environment.  The three lines
+marked as optional are typically omitted.
+</p>
+<div class="example">
+<pre class="example">\documentclass{letter}
+\address{Sender's street \\ Sender's town}

+@node Floats
+@section Floats
+
+Some typographic elements, such as figures and tables, cannot be broken
+across pages.  They must be typeset outside of the normal flow of text,
+for instance floating to the top of a later page.
+
+@LaTeX{} can have a number of different classes of floating material.
+The default is the two classes, @code{figure} (@pxref{figure}) and
+@code{table} (@pxref{table}), but you can create a new class with the
+package @file{float}.
+
+Within any one float class @LaTeX{} always respects the order, so that
+the first figure in a document source must be typeset before the second
+figure.  However, @LaTeX{} may mix the classes, so it can happen that
+while the first table appears in the source before the first figure, it
+appears in the output after it.
+
+The placement of floats is subject to parameters, given below, that
+limit the number of floats that can appear at the top of a page, and the
+bottom, etc. If so many floats are queued up that the limits prevent
+them all from fitting on a page then @LaTeX{} places what it can and
+defers the rest to the next page.  In this way, floats may be typset far
+from their place in the source.  In particular, a float that is big can
+migrate to the end of the document. But then because all floats in a
+class must appear in sequential order, every subsequent float in that
+class also appears at the end.
+
+@cindex placement of floats
+@cindex specifier, float placement
+In addition to changing the parameters, for each float you can tweak
+where the float placement algorithm tries to place it by using its
+@var{placement} argument.  The possible values are a sequence of the
+letters below. The default for both @code{figure} and @code{table}, in
+both @code{article} and @code{book} classes, is @code{tbp}.
+
+@table @code
+@item t
+(Top)---at the top of a text page.
+
+@item b
+(Bottom)---at the bottom of a text page.  (However, @code{b} is not
+allowed for full-width floats (@code{figure*}) with double-column
+output.  To ameliorate this, use the @file{stfloats} or
+@file{dblfloatfix} package, but see the discussion at caveats in the
+FAQ: @url{http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=2colfloat}.
+
+@item h
+(Here)---at the position in the text where the @code{figure} environment
+appears.  However, @code{h} is not allowed by itself; @code{t} is
+automatically added.
+
+@cindex here, putting floats
+@cindex @code{float} package
+To absolutely force a float to appear ``here'', you can
+@code{\usepackage@{float@}} and use the @code{H} specifier which it
+defines.  For further discussion, see the FAQ entry at
+@url{http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=figurehere}.
+
+@item p
+@cindex float page
+(Page of floats)---on a separate @dfn{float page}, which is a page
+containing no text, only floats.
+
+@item !
+Used in addition to one of the above; for this float only, @LaTeX{}
+ignores the restrictions on both the number of floats that can appear
+and the relative amounts of float and non-float text on the page.
+The @code{!} specifier does @emph{not} mean ``put the float here'';
+see above.
+
+@end table
+
+Note: the order in which letters appear in the @var{placement} argument
+does not change the order in which @LaTeX{} tries to place the float;
+for instance, @code{btp} has the same effect as @code{tbp}.  All that
+@var{placement} does is that if a letter is not present then the
+algorithm does not try that location.  Thus, @LaTeX{}'s default of
+@code{tbp} is to try every location except placing the float where it
+occurs in the source.
+
+To prevent @LaTeX{} from moving floats to the end of the document or a
+chapter you can use a @code{\clearpage} command to start a new page and
+insert all pending floats. If a pagebreak is undesirable then you can
+use the @file{afterpage} package and issue
+@code{\afterpage@{\clearpage@}}.  This will wait until the current page
+is finished and then flush all outstanding floats.
+
+@LaTeX{} can typeset a float before where it appears in the source
+(although on the same output page) if there is a @code{t} specifier in the
+@var{placement} paramater.  If this is not desired, and deleting the
+@code{t} is not acceptable as it keeps the float from being placed at
+the top of the next page, then you can prevent it by either using the
+@file{flafter} package or using the command
+@findex \suppressfloats 
+@code{\suppressfloats[t]}, which causes floats for the top position on
+this page to moved to the next page.

-following advantages:
+Create a file named @var{filename} and fill it with @var{text}.  The

-@itemize
-@item
-If the file already exists, then it will be overwritten.
+This environment can be used anywhere in the preamble, although it often
+appears before the @code{\documentclass} command.  It is typically used
+when a source file requires a nonstandard style or class file.  The
+environment will write that file to the directory containing the source
+and thus make the source file self-contained.  Another use is to include
+@code{bib} references in the file, again to make it self-contained.
 
-@item
-You can use the @code{filecontents} environment at any point after the
-declaration @code{\usepackage@{filecontents@}}, not just before
-@code{\documentclass}.
+The environment checks whether a file of that name already exists and if
+so, does not do anything.  There is a @file{filecontents} package that
+redefines the @code{filecontents} environment so that instead of doing
+nothing in that case, it will overwrite the existing file.
 
-@item
-The @code{filecontents} package also provides a @code{filecontents*}
-environment which is used in the same way as the @code{filecontents}
-environment except that it won't insert any leading comment, so it is
-better suited to create files which aren't in @LaTeX{} format.

-instance, @code{\input} or @code{\usepackage} or @code{\bibliography}

+The first argument @var{numcols} gives the number of columns to span.
+The second argument @var{cols} specifies the formatting of the entry,
+with @code{c} for centered, @code{l} for flush left, or @code{r} for
+flush right.  The third argument @var{text} gives the contents of that
+entry.
 
-Here's an example showing two columns separated by an en-dash;

+    ..
+\end@{tabular@}
+@end example
+
+What counts as a column is:@tie{}the column format specifier for the
+@code{array} or @code{tabular} environment is broken into parts, where
+each part (except the first) begins with @code{l}, @code{c}, @code{r},
+or@tie{}@code{p}.  So from @code{\begin@{tabular@}@{|r|ccp@{1.5in@}|@}}
+the parts are @code{|r|}, @code{c}, @code{c},
+and@tie{}@code{p@{1.5in@}|}.
+
+The @var{cols} argument overrides the @code{array} or @code{tabular}
+environment's intercolumn area default adjoining this multicolumn
+entry. To affect that area, this argument can contain vertical bars
+@code{|} indicating the placement of vertical rules, and @code{@@@{..@}}
+expressions.  Thus if @var{cols} is @samp{|c|} then this multicolumn
+entry will be centered and a vertical rule will come in the intercolumn
+area before it and after it.  This table details the exact behavior.
+
+@example
+\begin@{tabular@}@{|cc|c|c|@}
+  \multicolumn@{1@}@{r@}@{w@}       % entry one
+    &\multicolumn@{1@}@{|r|@}@{x@}  % entry two 
+    &\multicolumn@{1@}@{|r@}@{y@}   % entry three
+    &z                        % entry four
+\end@{tabular@}
+@end example
+Before the first entry the output will not have a vertical rule because
+the @code{\multicolumn} has the @var{cols} specifier @samp{r} with no
+initial vertical bar.  Between entry one and entry two there will be a
+vertical rule; although the first @var{cols} does not have an ending
+vertical bar, the second @var{cols} does have a starting one.  Between
+entry two and entry three there is a single vertical rule; despite that
+the @var{cols} in both of the surrounding @code{multicolumn}'s call for
+a vertical rule, you only get one rule.  Between entry three and entry
+four there is no vertical rule; the default calls for one but the
+@var{cols} in the entry three @code{\multicolumn} leaves it out, and
+that takes precedence.  Finally, following entry four there is a
+vertical rule because of the default.
+
+The number of spanned columns @var{numcols} can be 1.  Besides giving
+the ability to change the horizontal alignment, this also is useful to
+override for one row the @code{tabular} definition's default intercolumn
+area specification, including the placement of vertical rules.
+
+In the example below, in the @code{tabular} definition the first column
+is specified to default to left justified but in the first row the entry
+is centered with @code{\multicolumn@{1@}@{c@}@{\textsc@{Period@}@}}.
+Also in the first row, the second and third columns are spanned by a
+single entry with @code{\multicolumn@{2@}@{c@}@{\textsc@{Span@}@}},
+overriding the specification to center those two columns on the page
+range en-dash.
+
+@example
+\begin@{tabular@}@{l|r@@@{--@}l@} 
+  \multicolumn@{1@}@{c@}@{\textsc@{Period@}@}  
+    &multicolumn@{2@}@{c@}@{\textsc@{Span@}@} \\ \hline
+  Baroque          &1600           &1760         \\
+  Classical        &1730           &1820         \\

+  Impressionistic  &1875           &1925
+\end@{tabular@}
+@end example
+
+Note that although the @code{tabular} specification by default puts a
+vertical rule between the first and second columns, because there is no
+vertical bar in the @var{cols} of either of the first row's
+@code{\multicolumn} commands, no rule appears in the first row.

+
+This example illustrates some pitfalls.  In the first line's second
+entry the @code{\hfill} moves the @code{\vline} to the left edge of the

+two vertical rules, with the one from the @code{@{c|cc@}} specifier
+coming before the one produced by the @code{\vline\hfill}.  In contrast,
+the first line's third entry shows the usual way to put a vertical bar

+A command with no arguments that is followed in the source by a space
+will swallow that space.  The solution is to type @code{@{@}} after the
+command and before the space.
+
+A simple example of defining a new command:
+@code{\newcommand@{\JH@}@{Jim Hef@{@}feron@}} causes the abbreviation
+@code{\JH} to be replaced by the longer text.
+
+Redefining a command is basically the same:
+@code{\renewcommand@{\qedsymbol@}@{@{\small QED@}@}}.
+
+Here's a command definition that uses arguments:
+
+@example
+\newcommand@{\defreference@}[1]@{Definition~\ref@{#1@}@}
+@end example
+
+@noindent Then, @code{\defreference@{def:basis@}} will expand to
+something like @samp{Definition~3.14}.
+
+An example with two arguments:
+@code{\newcommand@{\nbym@}[2]@{#1\!\times\!#2@}} is invoked as
+@code{\nbym@{2@}@{k@}}.
+
+An example with optional arguments:
+
+@example
+\newcommand@{\salutation@}[1][Sir or Madam]@{Dear #1:@}
+@end example
+
+@noindent Then, @code{\salutation} gives @samp{Dear Sir or Madam:} while
+@code{\salutation[John]} gives @samp{Dear John:}.  And
+@code{\salutation[]} gives @samp{Dear :}.
+
+The braces around @var{defn} do not delimit the scope of the result of
+expanding @var{defn}.  So @code{\newcommand@{\shipname@}[1]@{\it #1@}}
+is wrong since in the sentence
+
+@example
+The \shipname@{Monitor@} met the \shipname@{Virginia@}.
+@end example
+
+@noindent the words @samp{met the} will incorrectly be in italics.  An
+extra pair of braces @code{\newcommand@{\shipname@}[1]@{@{\it #1@}@}}
+fixes it.

-looked for on the system is named @file{@var{fontname}.tfm}.
+This defines a control sequence @code{\@var{cmd}} that will change the
+current font.  @LaTeX{} will look on your system for a file named
+@file{@var{fontname}.tfm}.  The control sequence must must not already
+be defined.  It must begin with a backslash (@samp{\}).
+
+@findex .fd @r{file}
+This command is obsolete.  It is a low-level command for setting up an
+individual font.  Today fonts are almost always defined in families
+(which allows you to, for example, associate a boldface with a roman)
+through the so-called ``New Font Selection Scheme'', either by using
+@file{.fd} files or through the use of an engine that can access
+system fonts such as Xe@LaTeX{} (@pxref{@TeX{} engines}).
+@c xx explain nfss somewhere
+
+@cindex at clause, in font definitions
+@cindex design size, in font definitions
+But since it is part of @LaTeX{}, here is an explanation: the
+@var{font description} consists of a @var{fontname} and an optional
+@dfn{at clause}; this can have the form either @code{at @var{dimen}}
+or @code{scaled @var{factor}}, where a @var{factor} of @samp{1000}
+means no scaling.  For @LaTeX{}'s purposes, all this does is scale all
+the character and other font dimensions relative to the font's design
+size, which is a value defined in the @file{.tfm} file.
+
+This example defines two equivalent fonts and typesets a few
+characters in each:
 
-This is a low-level command for setting up to use an individual font.

+All @LaTeX{} commands are either @dfn{fragile} or @dfn{robust}.
+Footnotes, line breaks, any command that has an optional argument, and
+many more, are fragile.  A fragile command can break when it is used in
+the argument to certain commands.  To prevent such commands from
+breaking they must be preceded by the command @code{\protect}.
+
+For example, when @LaTeX{} runs the @code{\section@{@var{section
+name}@}} command it writes the @var{section name} text to the
+@file{.aux} auxiliary file, moving it there for use elsewhere in the
+document such as in the table of contents.  Any argument that is
+internally expanded by @LaTeX{} without typesetting it directly is
+referred to as a @dfn{moving argument}.  A command is fragile if it can
+expand during this process into invalid @TeX{} code.  Some examples of
+moving arguments are those that appear in the @code{\caption@{..@}}
+command (@pxref{figure}), in the @code{\thanks@{..@}} command
+(@pxref{\maketitle}), and in @@-expressions in the @code{tabular} and
+@code{array} environments (@pxref{tabular}).
+
+If you get strange errors from commands used in moving arguments, try
+preceding it with @code{\protect}.  Every fragile commands must be
+protected with their own @code{\protect}.  
+
+Although usually a @code{\protect} command doesn't hurt, length
+commands are robust and should not be preceded by a @code{\protect}
+command. Nor can a @code{\protect} command be used in the argument to
+@code{\addtocounter} or @code{\setcounter} command.
+
+In this example the @code{caption} command gives a mysterious error
+about an extra curly brace.  Fix the problem by preceding each
+@code{\raisebox} command with @code{\protect}.

+Lengths come in two types.  A @dfn{rigid length} (what Plain @TeX{}
+calls a @dfn{dimen}) such as @code{10pt} cannot contain a @code{plus} or
+@code{minus} component.  A @dfn{rubber length} (what Plain @TeX{} calls
+a @dfn{skip}) can contain those, as with @code{1cm plus0.05cm

+in the prior sentence could appear in the output as long as 1.05@tie{}cm
+or as short as 0.99@tie{}cm, depending on what @TeX{}'s typesetting
+algorithm finds optimum.
+
+The @code{plus} or @code{minus} component of a rubber length can contain
+a @dfn{fill} component, as in @code{1in plus2fill}.  This gives the
+length infinite stretchability or shrinkability, so that the length in
+the prior sentence can be set by @TeX{} to any distance greater than or
+equal to 1@tie{}inch.  @TeX{} actually provides three infinite glue
+components @code{fil}, @code{fill}, and @code{filll}, such that the
+later ones overcome the earlier ones, but only the middle value is

-To get an expression @i{exp} to appear as a subscript, you just type
-@code{_@{}@i{exp}@code{@}}.  To get @i{exp} to appear as a
-superscript, you type @code{^@{}@i{exp}@code{@}}. @LaTeX{} handles
-superscripted superscripts and all of that stuff in the natural way.
-It even does the right thing when something has both a subscript and a
-superscript.
+In math mode, use the caret character@tie{}@code{^} to make the
+@var{exp} appear as a superscript, ie.@: type @code{^@{@var{exp}@}}.
+Similarly, in math mode, underscore@tie{}@code{_@{@var{exp}@}} makes a
+subscript out of @var{exp}.
+
+In this example the @code{0} and @code{1} appear as subscripts while the
+@code{2} is a superscript.
+
+@example
+\( (x_0+x_1)^2 \)
+@end example 
+
+To have more than one character in @var{exp} use curly braces as in
+@code{e^@{-2x@}}.
+
+@LaTeX{} handles superscripts on superscripts, and all of that stuff, in
+the natural way, so expressions such as @code{e^@{x^2@}} and
+@code{x_@{a_0@}} will look right.  It also does the right thing when
+something has both a subscript and a superscript.  In this example the
+@code{0} appears at the bottom of the integral sign while the @code{10}
+appears at the top.
+ 
+@example
+\int_0^@{10@} x^2 \,dx
+@end example
+
+You can put a superscript or subscript before a symbol with a construct
+such as @code{@{@}_t K^2} in math mode (the initial @code{@{@}} prevents
+the prefixed subscript from being attached to any prior symbols in the
+expression).
+
+Outside of math mode, a construct like @code{A
+test$_\textnormal@{subscript@}$} will produce a subscript typeset in
+text mode, not math mode.  Note that there are packages specialized for
+writing Chemical formulas such as @file{mhchem}.

+
+Normally when @TeX{} breaks a paragraph into lines it discards white
+space (glues and kerns) that would come at the start of a line, so you
+get an inter-word space or a line break between words but not both. This
+command's starred version @code{\hspace*@{..@}} puts a non-discardable
+invisible item in front of the space, so the space appears in the
+output.
+
+This example make a one-line paragraph that puts @samp{Name:} an inch
+from the right margin.

-The @code{\ } (space) command produces a normal interword space.  It's
-useful after punctuation which shouldn't end a sentence.  For example,
-@code{the article in Proc.\ Amer.\ Math\. Soc.\ is fundamental}.  It
-is also often used after control sequences, as in @code{\TeX\ is a

-In normal circumstances, @code{\}@key{tab} and @code{\}@key{newline}
-are equivalent to @code{\ }.
+Mark a punctuation character, typically a period, as either ending a
+sentence or as ending an abbreviation.
+
+By default, in justifying a line @LaTeX{} adjusts the space after a
+sentence-ending period (or a question mark, exclamation point, comma, or
+colon) more than the space between words
+(@pxref{\frenchspacing}). @LaTeX{} assumes that the period ends a
+sentence unless it is preceded by a capital letter, in which case it
+takes that period for part of an abbreviation.  Note that if a
+sentence-ending period is immediately followed by a right parenthesis or
+bracket, or right single or double quote, then the intersentence space
+follows that parenthesis or quote.
+
+If you have a period ending an abbreviation whose last letter is not a
+capital letter, and that abbreviation is not the last word in the
+sentence, then follow that period with a backslash-space (@code{\ }) or
+a tie (@code{~}).  Examples are @code{Nat.\ Acad.\ Science}, and
+@code{Mr.~Bean}, and @code{(manure, etc.)\ for sale}.
+
+For other use of @code{\ }, see also @ref{\(SPACE) after CS}.
+
+In the opposite situation, if you have a capital letter followed by a
+period that ends the sentence, then put @code{\@@} on the left of that
+period.  For example, @code{book by the MAA\@@.} will have intersentence
+spacing after the period.
+
+In contrast, putting @code{\@@} on the right of a period tells @TeX{}
+that the period does not end the sentence.  In the example
+@code{reserved words (if, then, etc.\@@) are different}, @TeX{} will put
+interword space after the closing parenthesis (note that @code{\@@} is
+before the parenthesis).
+
+@node \(SPACE) after CS
+@section @code{\ } after a control sequence

+The @code{\ } command is often used after control sequences to keep them

+@code{\}@key{newline} are equivalent to @code{\ }. For other use of
+@code{\ }, see also @ref{\(SPACE) and \@@}.
+
+Some people prefer to use @code{@{@}} for the same purpose, as in
+@code{\TeX@{@} is a nice system.} This has the advantage that you can
+always write it the same way, like @code{\TeX@{@}}, whether it is
+followed by a space or by a punctuation mark. Please compare:

+The start of the @code{letter} environment resets the page number to 1,
+and the footnote number to 1 also.
+
+The @var{sender address} and @var{sender name} are common to all of the
+letters, whether there is one or more, so these are best put in the
+preamble.  As with the recipient address, often @var{sender address}
+contains multiple lines separated by a double
+backslash@tie{}(@code{\\}).  @LaTeX{} will put the @var{sender name}
+under the closing, after a vertical space for the traditional
+hand-written signature; it also can contain multiple lines.
+
+Each letter environment begins with a required @code{\opening} command
+such as @code{\opening@{Dear Madam or Sir:@}}.  The @var{letter body}
+text is ordinary @LaTeX{} so it can contain everything from from
+enumerated lists to displayed math, except that commands such as
+@code{\chapter} that make no sense in a letter are turned off.  Each
+letter environment typically ends with a @code{\closing} command such as
+@code{\closing@{Yours,@}}.
 
 @findex \\ @r{for letters}
-After the @code{closing}, you can have additional material.  The
-@code{\cc} command produces the usual ``cc: @dots{}''.  There's also a

+a list of enclosures.  And, you can add a postscript with @code{\ps}.
+
+@LaTeX{}'s default is to indent the signature and the @code{\closing}
+above it by a length of @code{\longindentation}.  By default this is
+@code{0.5\textwidth}. To make them flush left, put
+@code{\setlength@{\longindentation@}@{0em@}} in your preamble.

+
+'\baselinestretch'
+     LaTeX multiplies the line spacing by the value of the

 Synopsis:
 
-     \twocolumn[TEXT1COL]
+     \twocolumn[PRELIM ONE COLUMN TEXT]
 
    The '\twocolumn' declaration starts a new page and produces
-two-column output.  If the optional TEXT1COL argument is present, it is
+two-column output.  If the document is given the class option
+'twocolumn' then this is the default (*note Document class options::).
+
+   If the optional PRELIM ONE COLUMN TEXT argument is present, it is
 typeset in one-column mode before the two-column typesetting starts.
 
+   This command is fragile (*note \protect::).
+
    These parameters control typesetting in two-column output:
 
 '\columnsep'
-     The distance between columns (35pt by default).
+     The distance between columns.  The default is 35pt.  Change it with
+     a command such as '\setlength{\columnsep}{40pt}' You must change it
+     before the two column environment starts; in the preamble is a good
+     place.
 
 '\columnseprule'
-     The width of the rule between columns; the default is 0pt, so there
-     is no rule.
+     The width of the rule between columns.  The rule appears halfway
+     between the two columns.  The default is 0pt, meaning that there is
+     no rule.  Change it with a command such as
+     '\setlength{\columnseprule}{0.4pt}', before the two-column
+     environment starts.
 
 '\columnwidth'
-     The width of the current column; this is equal to '\textwidth' in
-     single-column text.
+     The width of a single column.  In one-column mode this is equal to
+     '\textwidth'.  In two-column mode by default LaTeX sets the width
+     of each of the two columns to be half of '\textwidth' minus
+     '\columnsep'.
 
-   These parameters control float behavior in two-column output:
+   In a two-column document, the starred environments 'table*' and
+'figure*' are two columns wide, whereas the unstarred environments
+'table' and 'figure' take up only one column (*note figure:: and *note
+table::).  LaTeX places starred floats at the top of a page.  The
+following parameters control float behavior of two-column output.
 
 '\dbltopfraction'
-     Maximum fraction at the top of a two-column page that may be
-     occupied by floats.  Default '.7', can be usefully redefined to
-     (say) '.9' to avoid going to float pages so soon.
+     The maximum fraction at the top of a two-column page that may be
+     occupied by two-column wide floats.  The default is 0.7, meaning
+     that the height of a 'table*' or 'figure*' environment must not
+     exceed '0.7\textheight' .  If the height of your starred float
+     environment exceeeds this then you can take one of the following
+     actions to prevent it from floating all the way to the back of the
+     document:
+
+        * Use the '[tp]' location specifier to tell LaTeX to try to put
+          the bulky float on a page by itself, as well as at the top of
+          a page.
+
+        * Use the '[t!]' location specifier to override the effect of
+          '\dbltopfraction' for this particular float.
+
+        * Increase the value of '\dbltopfraction' to a suitably large
+          number, to avoid going to float pages so soon.
+
+     You can redefine it, for instance with
+     '\renewcommand{\dbltopfraction}{0.9}'.
 
 '\dblfloatpagefraction'
-     The minimum fraction of a float page that must be occupied by
-     floats, for a two-column float page.  Default '.5'.
+     For a float page of two-column wide floats, this is the minimum
+     fraction that must be occupied by floats, limiting the amount of
+     blank space.  LaTeX's default is '0.5'.  Change it with
+     '\renewcommand'.
 
 '\dblfloatsep'
-     Distance between floats at the top or bottom of a two-column float
-     page.  Default '12pt plus2pt minus2pt' for '10pt' and '11pt'
-     documents, '14pt plus2pt minus4pt' for '12pt'.
+     On a float page of two-column wide floats, this length is the
+     distance between floats, at both the top and bottom of the page.
+     The default is '12pt plus2pt minus2pt' for a document set at '10pt'
+     or '11pt', and '14pt plus2pt minus4pt' for a document set at
+     '12pt'.
 
 '\dbltextfloatsep'
-     Distance between a multi-column float at the top or bottom of a
-     page and the main text.  Default '20pt plus2pt minus4pt'.
+     This length is the distance between a multi-column float at the top
+     or bottom of a page and the main text.  The default is '20pt
+     plus2pt minus4pt'.
+
+'\dbltopnumber'
+     On a float page of two-column wide floats, this counter gives the
+     maximum number of floats allowed at the top of the page.  The LaTeX
+     default is '2'.
+
+   This example shows the use of the optional argument of '\twocolumn'
+to create a title that spans the two-column article:

-The '\flushbottom' declaration makes all text pages the same height,
-adding extra vertical space where necessary to fill out the page.
+The '\flushbottom' command can go at any point in the document body.  It
+makes all later pages the same height, stretching the vertical space
+where necessary to fill out the page.
 
-   This is the default if 'twocolumn' mode is selected (*note Document
-class options::).
+   If TeX cannot satisfactorily stretch the vertical space in a page
+then you get a message like 'Underfull \vbox (badness 10000) has
+occurred while \output is active'.  You can change to '\raggedbottom'
+(see below).  Alternatively, you can try to adjust the 'textheight' to
+be compatible, or you can add some vertical stretch glue between lines
+or between paragraphs, as in '\setlength{\parskip}{0ex plus0.1ex}'.  In
+a final editing stage you can adjust the height of individual pages
+(*note \enlargethispage::).
+
+   This is the default only if you select the 'twoside' document class
+option (*note Document class options::).

+     '\normalmarginpar' changes it back).
+
+     The defaults for '\marginparpush' in both 'book' and 'article'
+     classes are: '7pt' if the document is set at 12pt, and '5pt' if the
+     document is set at 11pt or 10pt.
+
+     For '\marginsep', in 'article' class the default is '10pt' except
+     if the document is set at 10pt and in two-column mode where the

+
+     For '\marginsep' in 'book' class the default is '10pt' in
+     two-column mode and '7pt' in one-column mode.
+
+     For '\marginparwidth' in both 'book' and 'article' classes, in
+     two-column mode the default is 60% of '\paperwidth - \textwidth',
+     while in one-column mode it is 50% of that distance.
+
+'\oddsidemargin'
+'\evensidemargin'
+     The '\oddsidemargin' is the extra distance between the left side of
+     the page and the text's left margin, on odd-numbered pages when the
+     document class option 'twoside' is chosen and on all pages when
+     'oneside' is in effect.  When 'twoside' is in effect, on
+     even-numbered pages the extra distance on the left is
+     'evensidemargin'.
+
+     LaTeX's default is that '\oddsidemargin' is 40% of the difference
+     between '\paperwidth' and '\textwidth', and '\evensidemargin' is
+     the remainder.
+
+'\paperheight'
+     The height of the paper, as distinct from the height of the print
+     area.  It is normally set with a document class option, as in

+5.6 Floats
+==========
+
+Some typographic elements, such as figures and tables, cannot be broken
+across pages.  They must be typeset outside of the normal flow of text,
+for instance floating to the top of a later page.
+
+   LaTeX can have a number of different classes of floating material.
+The default is the two classes, 'figure' (*note figure::) and 'table'
+(*note table::), but you can create a new class with the package
+'float'.
+
+   Within any one float class LaTeX always respects the order, so that
+the first figure in a document source must be typeset before the second
+figure.  However, LaTeX may mix the classes, so it can happen that while
+the first table appears in the source before the first figure, it
+appears in the output after it.
+
+   The placement of floats is subject to parameters, given below, that
+limit the number of floats that can appear at the top of a page, and the
+bottom, etc.  If so many floats are queued up that the limits prevent
+them all from fitting on a page then LaTeX places what it can and defers
+the rest to the next page.  In this way, floats may be typset far from
+their place in the source.  In particular, a float that is big can
+migrate to the end of the document.  But then because all floats in a
+class must appear in sequential order, every subsequent float in that
+class also appears at the end.
+
+   In addition to changing the parameters, for each float you can tweak
+where the float placement algorithm tries to place it by using its
+PLACEMENT argument.  The possible values are a sequence of the letters
+below.  The default for both 'figure' and 'table', in both 'article' and
+'book' classes, is 'tbp'.
+
+'t'
+     (Top)--at the top of a text page.
+
+'b'
+     (Bottom)--at the bottom of a text page.  (However, 'b' is not
+     allowed for full-width floats ('figure*') with double-column
+     output.  To ameliorate this, use the 'stfloats' or 'dblfloatfix'
+     package, but see the discussion at caveats in the FAQ:
+     <http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=2colfloat>.
+
+'h'
+     (Here)--at the position in the text where the 'figure' environment
+     appears.  However, 'h' is not allowed by itself; 't' is
+     automatically added.
+
+     To absolutely force a float to appear "here", you can
+     '\usepackage{float}' and use the 'H' specifier which it defines.
+     For further discussion, see the FAQ entry at
+     <http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=figurehere>.
+
+'p'
+     (Page of floats)--on a separate "float page", which is a page
+     containing no text, only floats.
+
+'!'
+     Used in addition to one of the above; for this float only, LaTeX
+     ignores the restrictions on both the number of floats that can
+     appear and the relative amounts of float and non-float text on the
+     page.  The '!' specifier does _not_ mean "put the float here"; see
+     above.
+
+   Note: the order in which letters appear in the PLACEMENT argument
+does not change the order in which LaTeX tries to place the float; for
+instance, 'btp' has the same effect as 'tbp'.  All that PLACEMENT does
+is that if a letter is not present then the algorithm does not try that
+location.  Thus, LaTeX's default of 'tbp' is to try every location
+except placing the float where it occurs in the source.
+
+   To prevent LaTeX from moving floats to the end of the document or a
+chapter you can use a '\clearpage' command to start a new page and
+insert all pending floats.  If a pagebreak is undesirable then you can
+use the 'afterpage' package and issue '\afterpage{\clearpage}'.  This
+will wait until the current page is finished and then flush all
+outstanding floats.
+
+   LaTeX can typeset a float before where it appears in the source
+(although on the same output page) if there is a 't' specifier in the
+PLACEMENT paramater.  If this is not desired, and deleting the 't' is
+not acceptable as it keeps the float from being placed at the top of the
+next page, then you can prevent it by either using the 'flafter' package
+or using the command '\suppressfloats[t]', which causes floats for the
+top position on this page to moved to the next page.
+
+   Parameters relating to fractions of pages occupied by float and
+non-float text (change them with '\renewcommand{PARAMETER}{DECIMAL
+BETWEEN 0 AND 1}'):
+
+'\bottomfraction'
+     The maximum fraction of the page allowed to be occupied by floats
+     at the bottom; default '.3'.
+
+'\floatpagefraction'
+     The minimum fraction of a float page that must be occupied by
+     floats; default '.5'.
+
+'\textfraction'
+     Minimum fraction of a page that must be text; if floats take up too
+     much space to preserve this much text, floats will be moved to a
+     different page.  The default is '.2'.
+
+'\topfraction'
+     Maximum fraction at the top of a page that may be occupied before
+     floats; default '.7'.
+
+   Parameters relating to vertical space around floats (change them with

+
+'\floatsep'
+     Space between floats at the top or bottom of a page; default '12pt
+     plus2pt minus2pt'.

+     Space above and below a float in the middle of the main text;
+     default '12pt plus2pt minus2pt' for 10 point and 11 point

+'\textfloatsep'
+     Space between the last (first) float at the top (bottom) of a page;

+     Maximum number of floats that can appear at the top of a text page;
+     default 2.
+

+
+   The principal TeX FAQ entry relating to floats
+<http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=floats> contains
+suggestions for relaxing LaTeX's default parameters to reduce the
+problem of floats being pushed to the end.  A full explaination of the
+float placement algorithm is Frank Mittelbach's article "How to infuence
+the position of float environments like figure and table in LaTeX?"

+environment such as 'equation' (*note equation::).  Column entries are

+   The required argument COLS describes the number of columns, their
+alignment, and the formatting of the intercolumn regions.  See *note
+tabular:: for the complete description of COLS, and of the other common
+features of the two environments, including the optional POS argument.
+
+   There are two ways that 'array' diverges from 'tabular'.  The first
+is that 'array' entries are typeset in mathematics mode, in textstyle
+(except if the COLS definition specifies the column with '@p{..}', which
+causes the entry to be typeset in text mode).  The second is that,
+instead of 'tabular''s parameter '\tabcolsep', LaTeX's intercolumn space
+in an array is governed by '\arraycolsep' which gives half the width
+between columns.  The default for this is '5pt'.
+
+   To obtain arrays with braces the standard is to use the 'amsmath'
+package.  It comes with environments 'pmatrix' for an array surrounded
+by parentheses '(..)', 'bmatrix' for an array surrounded by square
+brackets '[..]', 'Bmatrix' for an array surrounded by curly
+braces '{..}', 'vmatrix' for an array surrounded by vertical
+bars '|..|', and 'Vmatrix' for an array surrounded by double vertical
+bars '||..||', along with a number of other array constructs.

+breaks that avoid hyphenation and avoid stretching or shrinking any

+
+   This environment inserts space above and below the text body.  See

    Unlike the 'center' environment, the '\centering' command does not

-units.  To affect a paragraph unit's format, the scope of the
-declaration must contain the blank line or '\end' command (of an

+       FIRST FORMULA LEFT  &FIRST FORMULA MIDDLE  &FIRST FORMULA RIGHT \\
+       ...

-or inequalities.  It is similar to a three-column 'array' environment,
-with consecutive rows separated by '\\' and consecutive items within a
-row separated by an '&'.

+     \end{eqnarray*}
+
+   Display a sequence of equations or inequalities.  The left and right
+sides are typeset in display mode, while the middle is typeset in text
+mode.
 
-   '\\*' can also be used to separate equations, with its normal meaning
-of not allowing a page break at that line.
+   It is similar to a three-column 'array' environment, with items
+within a row separated by an ampersand ('&'), and with rows separated by
+double backslash  '\\').  The starred form of line break ('\\*') can
+also be used to separate equations, and will disallow a page break there
+(*note \\::).
 
-   An equation number is placed on every line unless that line has a
-'\nonumber' command.  Alternatively, The '*'-form of the environment
-('\begin{eqnarray*} ... \end{eqnarray*}') will omit equation numbering
-entirely, while otherwise being the same as 'eqnarray'.

+(using the 'equation' counter), unless that line contains a '\nonumber'
+command.  The starred form 'eqnarray*' omits equation numbering, while

    The command '\lefteqn' is used for splitting long formulas across
 lines.  It typesets its argument in display style flush left in a box of

-Figures will not be split between two pages.
-
-   When typesetting in double-columns, the starred form produces a

-
-   The optional argument '[placement]' determines where LaTeX will try
-to place your figure.  There are four places where LaTeX can possibly
-put a float:
-
-'t'
-     (Top)--at the top of a text page.
-
-'b'
-     (Bottom)--at the bottom of a text page.  However, 'b' is not
-     allowed for full-width floats ('figure*') with double-column
-     output.  To ameliorate this, use the 'stfloats' or 'dblfloatfix'

-
-'h'
-     (Here)--at the position in the text where the 'figure' environment
-     appears.  However, 't' is not allowed by itself; 't' is
-     automatically added.
-
-     To absolutely force a figure to appear "here", you can
-     '\usepackage{float}' and use the 'H' specifier which it defines.
-     For further discussion, see the FAQ entry at
-     <http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=figurehere>.
-
-'p'
-     (Page of floats)--on a separate float page, which is a page
-     containing no text, only floats.
-
-'!'
-     Used in addition to one of the above; for this float only, LaTeX
-     ignores the restrictions on both the number of floats that can
-     appear and the relative amounts of float and non-float text on the
-     page.  The '!' specifier does _not_ mean "put the float here"; see
-     above.

-   The standard 'report' and 'article' classes use the default placement
-'tbp'.
-
-   The body of the figure is made up of whatever text, LaTeX commands,
-etc. you wish.
-
-   The '\caption' command specifies caption TEXT for the figure.  The
-caption is numbered by default.  If LOFTITLE is present, it is used in
-the list of figures instead of TEXT (*note Tables of contents::).
-
-   Parameters relating to fractions of pages occupied by float and
-non-float text:
-
-     The maximum fraction of the page allowed to be occupied by floats
-     at the bottom; default '.3'.
-
-'\floatpagefraction'
-     The minimum fraction of a float page that must be occupied by
-     floats; default '.5'.
-

-     Maximum fraction at the top of a page that may be occupied before
-     floats; default '.7'.

-   The 'filecontents' environment is an "initial command", meaning that
-it can be used only before the '\documentclass' command, as in the
-synopsis above.
+   or
 
-   LaTeX will create a file named FILENAME with the content

-the file was generated.  If the file already exists then nothing will
-happen.
+     \begin{filecontents*}{FILENAME}
+       TEXT
+     \end{filecontents*}
 
-   You can also use the 'filecontents' package, which has the following
-advantages:
+   Create a file named FILENAME and fill it with TEXT.  The unstarred
+version of the environment 'filecontents' prefixes the content of the
+created file with a header; see the example below.  The starred version
+'filecontents*' does not include the header.
 
-   * If the file already exists, then it will be overwritten.
+   This environment can be used anywhere in the preamble, although it
+often appears before the '\documentclass' command.  It is typically used
+when a source file requires a nonstandard style or class file.  The
+environment will write that file to the directory containing the source
+and thus make the source file self-contained.  Another use is to include
+'bib' references in the file, again to make it self-contained.
 
-   * You can use the 'filecontents' environment at any point after the
-     declaration '\usepackage{filecontents}', not just before
-     '\documentclass'.
+   The environment checks whether a file of that name already exists and
+if so, does not do anything.  There is a 'filecontents' package that
+redefines the 'filecontents' environment so that instead of doing
+nothing in that case, it will overwrite the existing file.
 
-   * The 'filecontents' package also provides a 'filecontents*'
-     environment which is used in the same way as the 'filecontents'
-     environment except that it won't insert any leading comment, so it
-     is better suited to create files which aren't in LaTeX format.
+   For example, this document
 
-   The 'filecontents' environment only creates the file, and is
-unrelated to using the created file.  So you need to use, for instance,

 ---------------------
 
 Synopsis:
-     \multicolumn{COLS}{POS}{TEXT}
-
-   The '\multicolumn' command makes an entry that spans several columns.
-The first mandatory argument, COLS, specifies the number of columns to
-span.  The second mandatory argument, POS, specifies the formatting of
-the entry; 'c' for centered, 'l' for flushleft, 'r' for flushright.  The
-third mandatory argument, TEXT, specifies what text to put in the entry.
-
-   Here's an example showing two columns separated by an en-dash;
-'\multicolumn' is used for the heading:
-
-     \begin{tabular}{r@{--}l}
-     \multicolumn{2}{c}{\bf Unicode}\cr
-        0x80&0x7FF   \cr
-       0x800&0xFFFF  \cr
-     0x10000&0x1FFFF \cr
+
+     \multicolumn{NUMCOLS}{COLS}{TEXT}
+
+   Make an 'array' or 'tabular' entry that spans several columns.  The
+first argument NUMCOLS gives the number of columns to span.  The second
+argument COLS specifies the formatting of the entry, with 'c' for
+centered, 'l' for flush left, or 'r' for flush right.  The third
+argument TEXT gives the contents of that entry.
+
+   In this example, in the first row, the second and third columns are
+spanned by the single heading 'Name'.
+
+     \begin{tabular}{lccl}
+       \textit{ID}       &\multicolumn{2}{c}{\textit{Name}} &\textit{Age} \\ \hline % row one
+       978-0-393-03701-2 &O'Brian &Patrick                  &55           \\        % row two
+         ..
+     \end{tabular}
+
+   What counts as a column is: the column format specifier for the
+'array' or 'tabular' environment is broken into parts, where each part
+(except the first) begins with 'l', 'c', 'r', or 'p'.  So from
+'\begin{tabular}{|r|ccp{1.5in}|}' the parts are '|r|', 'c', 'c',
+and 'p{1.5in}|'.
+
+   The COLS argument overrides the 'array' or 'tabular' environment's
+intercolumn area default adjoining this multicolumn entry.  To affect
+that area, this argument can contain vertical bars '|' indicating the
+placement of vertical rules, and '@{..}' expressions.  Thus if COLS is
+'|c|' then this multicolumn entry will be centered and a vertical rule
+will come in the intercolumn area before it and after it.  This table
+details the exact behavior.
+
+     \begin{tabular}{|cc|c|c|}
+       \multicolumn{1}{r}{w}       % entry one
+         &\multicolumn{1}{|r|}{x}  % entry two
+         &\multicolumn{1}{|r}{y}   % entry three
+         &z                        % entry four
      \end{tabular}
+   Before the first entry the output will not have a vertical rule
+because the '\multicolumn' has the COLS specifier 'r' with no initial
+vertical bar.  Between entry one and entry two there will be a vertical
+rule; although the first COLS does not have an ending vertical bar, the
+second COLS does have a starting one.  Between entry two and entry three
+there is a single vertical rule; despite that the COLS in both of the
+surrounding 'multicolumn''s call for a vertical rule, you only get one
+rule.  Between entry three and entry four there is no vertical rule; the
+default calls for one but the COLS in the entry three '\multicolumn'
+leaves it out, and that takes precedence.  Finally, following entry four
+there is a vertical rule because of the default.
+
+   The number of spanned columns NUMCOLS can be 1.  Besides giving the
+ability to change the horizontal alignment, this also is useful to
+override for one row the 'tabular' definition's default intercolumn area
+specification, including the placement of vertical rules.
+
+   In the example below, in the 'tabular' definition the first column is
+specified to default to left justified but in the first row the entry is
+centered with '\multicolumn{1}{c}{\textsc{Period}}'.  Also in the first
+row, the second and third columns are spanned by a single entry with
+'\multicolumn{2}{c}{\textsc{Span}}', overriding the specification to
+center those two columns on the page range en-dash.
+
+     \begin{tabular}{l|r@{--}l}
+       \multicolumn{1}{c}{\textsc{Period}}
+         &multicolumn{2}{c}{\textsc{Span}} \\ \hline

+       Impressionistic  &1875           &1925
+     \end{tabular}
+
+   Note that although the 'tabular' specification by default puts a
+vertical rule between the first and second columns, because there is no
+vertical bar in the COLS of either of the first row's '\multicolumn'
+commands, no rule appears in the first row.

+Draw a vertical line in a 'tabular' or 'array' environment extending the

+This command is rarely used; typically a table's vertical lines are
+specified in 'tabular''s COLS argument and overriden as needed with
+'\multicolumn'.
+
+   This example illustrates some pitfalls.  In the first line's second
+entry the '\hfill' moves the '\vline' to the left edge of the cell.  But
+that is different than putting it halfway between the two columns, so in
+that row between the first and second columns there are two vertical
+rules, with the one from the '{c|cc}' specifier coming before the one
+produced by the '\vline\hfill'.  In contrast, the first line's third
+entry shows the usual way to put a vertical bar between two columns.  In
+the second line, the 'ghi' is the widest entry in its column so in the
+'\vline\hfill' the '\hfill' has no effect and the vertical line in that
+entry appears immediately next to the 'g', with no whitespace.

+     Optional; if this argument is present then the first argument of
+     defined command \CMD is optional, with default value OPTARGDEFAULT
+     (which may be the empty string).  If this argument is not present
+     then \CMD does not take an optional argument.
+
+     That is, if \CMD is used with square brackets following, as in
+     '\CMD[MYVAL]', then within DEFN '#1' expands MYVAL.  While if \CMD
+     is called without square brackets following, then within DEFN the
+     '#1' expands to the default OPTARGDEFAULT.  In either case, any
+     required arguments will be referred to starting with '#2'.
+
+     Omitting '[MYVAL]' in the call is different from having the square
+     brackets with no contents, as in '[]'.  The former results in '#1'
+     expanding to OPTARGDEFAULT; the latter results in '#1' expanding to
+     the empty string.
 
 DEFN
      The text to be substituted for every occurrence of 'cmd'; a
      construct of the form '#N' in DEFN is replaced by the text of the
      Nth argument.
 
-12.2 '\newcounter'
-==================
+   A command with no arguments that is followed in the source by a space
+will swallow that space.  The solution is to type '{}' after the command
+and before the space.
+
+   A simple example of defining a new command: '\newcommand{\JH}{Jim
+Hef{}feron}' causes the abbreviation '\JH' to be replaced by the longer
+text.
+
+   Redefining a command is basically the same:
+'\renewcommand{\qedsymbol}{{\small QED}}'.
+
+   Here's a command definition that uses arguments:
+
+     \newcommand{\defreference}[1]{Definition~\ref{#1}}
+
+Then, '\defreference{def:basis}' will expand to something like
+'Definition~3.14'.
+
+   An example with two arguments:
+'\newcommand{\nbym}[2]{#1\!\times\!#2}' is invoked as '\nbym{2}{k}'.
+
+   An example with optional arguments:
+
+     \newcommand{\salutation}[1][Sir or Madam]{Dear #1:}
+
+Then, '\salutation' gives 'Dear Sir or Madam:' while '\salutation[John]'
+gives 'Dear John:'.  And '\salutation[]' gives 'Dear :'.
+
+   The braces around DEFN do not delimit the scope of the result of
+expanding DEFN.  So '\newcommand{\shipname}[1]{\it #1}' is wrong since
+in the sentence
+
+     The \shipname{Monitor} met the \shipname{Virginia}.
+
+the words 'met the' will incorrectly be in italics.  An extra pair of
+braces '\newcommand{\shipname}[1]{{\it #1}}' fixes it.
+
+12.2 '\providecommand'
+======================
+
+Defines a command, as long as no command of this name already exists.
+Synopses:
+
+     \providecommand{CMD}[NARGS][OPTARGDEFAULT]{DEFN}
+     \providecommand*{CMD}[NARGS][OPTARGDEFAULT]{DEFN}
+
+   If no command of this name already exists then this has the same
+effect as '\newcommand' (*note \newcommand & \renewcommand::).  If a
+command of this name already exists then this definition does nothing.
+This is particularly useful in a style file, or other file that may be
+loaded more than once.
+
+12.3 '\newcounter': Allocating a counter
+========================================
 
 Synopsis:
 
      \newcounter{COUNTERNAME}[SUPERCOUNTER]
 
-   The '\newcounter' command defines a new counter named COUNTERNAME.
-The new counter is initialized to zero.
+   The '\newcounter' command globally defines a new counter named
+COUNTERNAME.  The name consists of letters only and does not begin with
+a backslash ('\').  The name must not already be used by another
+counter.  The new counter is initialized to zero.
 
-   Given the optional argument '[SUPER]', COUNTERNAME will be reset
-whenever the counter named SUPERCOUNTER is incremented.
+   If the optional argument '[SUPERCOUNTER]' appears, then COUNTERNAME
+will be numbered within, or subsidiary to, the existing counter
+SUPERCOUNTER.  For example, ordinarily 'subsection' is numbered within
+'section'.  Any time SUPERCOUNTER is incremented with '\stepcounter'
+(*note \stepcounter::) or '\refstepcounter' (*note \refstepcounter::)
+then COUNTERNAME is reset to zero.
 
    *Note Counters::, for more information about counters.
 
-12.3 '\newlength'
-=================
+12.4 '\newlength': Allocating a length
+======================================
 
-Synopsis:
+Allocate a new "length" register.  Synopsis:
 
      \newlength{\ARG}
 
-   The '\newlength' command defines the mandatory argument as a "length"
-command with a value of zero.  The argument must be a control sequence,
-as in '\newlength{\foo}'.  An error occurs if '\foo' is already defined.
+   This command takes one required argument, which must begin with a
+backslash ('\').  It creates a new length register named '\ARG', which
+is a place to hold (rubber) lengths such as '1in plus.2in minus.1in'
+(what plain TeX calls a 'skip' register).  The register gets an initial
+value of zero.  The control sequence '\ARG' must not already be defined.

-Synopsis:
+Allocate a "bin" for holding a box.  Synopsis:
 
-     \newsavebox{CMD}
+     \newsavebox{\CMD}
 
-   Defines '\CMD', which must be a command name not already defined, to
-refer to a new bin for storing boxes.
+   Defines '\CMD' to refer to a new bin for storing boxes.  Such a box
+is for holding typeset material, to use multiple times (*note Boxes::)
+or to measure or manipulate.  The name '\CMD' must start with a
+backslash ('\'), and must not be already defined.

-'*'
-     The *-form of these commands requires that the arguments (not the
-     contents of the environment) not contain multiple paragraphs of
-     text.
+   Unlike '\newcommand' and '\renewcommand', the '*'-forms
+'\newenvironment*' and '\renewcommand*' have the same effect as the
+forms with no '*'.
 
 ENV
-     The name of the environment.  For '\newenvironment', ENV must not
-     be an existing environment, and the command '\ENV' must be
+     Required; the environment name.  It does not begin with backslash
+     ('\').  It must not begin with the string 'end'.  For
+     '\newenvironment', the name ENV must not be the name of an already
+     existing environment, and also the command '\ENV' must be
      undefined.  For '\renewenvironment', ENV must be the name of an
      existing environment.
 
 NARGS
-     An integer from 1 to 9 denoting the number of arguments of the
-     newly-defined environment.  The default is no arguments.
-
-DEFAULT
-     If this is specified, the first argument is optional, and DEFAULT
-     gives the default value for that argument.
-
-BEGDEF
-     The text expanded at every occurrence of '\begin{ENV}'; a construct
-     of the form '#N' in BEGDEF is replaced by the text of the Nth
+     Optional; an integer from 0 to 9 denoting the number of arguments
+     of that the environment will take.  These arguments appear after
+     the '\begin', as in '\begin{ENV}{ARG1}...{ARGN}'.  If this argument
+     is not present then the default is for the environment to have no
+     arguments.  When redefining an environment, the new version can
+     have a different number of arguments than the old version.
+
+OPTARGDEFAULT
+     Optional; if this argument is present then the first argument of
+     the defined environment is optional, with default value
+     OPTARGDEFAULT (which may be the empty string).  If this argument is
+     not present then the environment does not take an optional
      argument.
 
-ENDDEF
-     The text expanded at every occurrence of '\end{ENV}'.  It may not
-     contain any argument parameters.
+     That is, when '[OPTARGDEFAULT]' is present in the environment
+     definition, if '\begin{ENV}' is used with square brackets
+     following, as in '\begin{ENV}[MYVAL]', then within the environment
+     '#1' expands MYVAL.  If '\begin{ENV}' is called without square
+     brackets following, then within the environment the '#1' expands to
+     the default OPTARGDEFAULT.  In either case, any required arguments
+     will be referred to starting with '#2'.
+
+     Omitting '[MYVAL]' in the call is different from having the square
+     brackets with no contents, as in '[]'.  The former results in '#1'
+     expanding to OPTARGDEFAULT; the latter results in '#1' expanding to
+     the empty string.
+
+BEGDEFN
+     Required; the text expanded at every occurrence of '\begin{ENV}'; a
+     construct of the form '#N' in BEGDEF is replaced by the text of the
+     Nth argument.
 
-12.6 '\newtheorem'
+ENDDEFN
+     Required; the text expanded at every occurrence of '\end{ENV}'.
+     Note that it may not contain any argument parameters, so '#N'
+     cannot be used here.
+
+   The environment ENV delimits the scope of the result of expanding
+BEGDEFN and ENDDEFN.  Thus, in the first example below, the effect of
+the '\small' is limited to the quote and does not extend to material
+following the environment.
+
+   This example gives an environment like LaTeX's 'quotation' except
+that it will be set in smaller type.
+
+     \newenvironment{smallquote}{%
+       \small\begin{quotation}
+     }{%
+       \end{quotation}
+     }
+
+   This shows the use of arguments; it gives a quotation environment
+that cites the author.
+
+     \newenvironment{citequote}[1][Shakespeare]{%
+       \begin{quotation}
+       \noindent\textit{#1}:
+     }{%
+       \end{quotation}
+     }
+
+The author's name is optional, and defaults to Shakespeare.  In the
+document, use the environment as here:
+
+     \begin{citequote}[Lincoln]
+       ..
+     \end{citequote}
+
+   The final example shows how to save the value of an argument to use
+in ENDDEFN.
+
+     \newsavebox{\quoteauthor}
+     \newenvironment{citequote}[1][Shakespeare]{%
+       \sbox\quoteauthor{#1}%

+
+   Using the second form,
+
+     \newtheorem{NAME}[NUMBERED_LIKE]{TITLE}
+
+with the optional argument between the two required arguments, will
+create an environment whose counter will share the previously defined
+counter NUMBERED_LIKE.
+
+   You can specify one of NUMBERED_WITHIN and NUMBERED_LIKE, or neither,
+but not both.
+
+   This command creates a counter named NAME.  In addition, unless the
+optional argument NUMBERED_LIKE is used, the current '\ref' value will
+be that of '\theNUMBERED_WITHIN' (*note \ref::).
+
+   This declaration is global.  It is fragile (*note \protect::).
+
+   Arguments:
+
+NAME
+     The name of the environment.  It must not begin with a backslash
+     ('\').  It must not be the name of an existing environment; indeed,
+     the command name '\NAME' must not already be defined as anything.
+
+TITLE
      The text printed at the beginning of the environment, before the
      number.  For example, 'Theorem'.
 
+NUMBERED_WITHIN
+     Optional; the name of an already defined counter, usually a
+     sectional unit such as 'chapter' or 'section'.  When the
+     NUMBERED_WITHIN counter is reset then the NAME environment's
+     counter will also be reset.
+
+     If this optional argument is not used then the command '\theNAME'
+     is set to '\arabic{NAME}'.
+
 NUMBERED_LIKE
-     (Optional.)  The name of an already defined theorem-like
-     environment; the new environment will be numbered just like
+     Optional; the name of an already defined theorem-like environment.
+     The new environment will be numbered in sequence with
      NUMBERED_LIKE.
 
-WITHIN
-     (Optional.)  The name of an already defined counter, a sectional
-     unit.  The new theorem counter will be reset at the same time as
-     the WITHIN counter.
+   Without any optional arguments the environments are numbered
+sequentially.  This example has a declaration in the preamble that
+results in 'Definition 1' and 'Definition 2' in the output.
 
-   At most one of NUMBERED_LIKE and WITHIN can be specified, not both.
+     \newtheorem{defn}{Definition}
+     \begin{document}
+     \section{...}

-===============
+     \section{...}
+     \begin{defn}
+       Second def
+     \end{defn}
+
+   Because this example specifies the optional argument NUMBERED_WITHIN
+to '\newtheorem' as 'section', the example, with the same document body,
+gives 'Definition 1.1' and 'Definition 2.1'.
+
+     \newtheorem{defn}{Definition}[section]

+       Second def
+     \end{defn}
+
+   In this example there are two declarations in the preamble, the
+second of which calls for the new 'thm' environment to use the same
+counter as 'defn'.  It gives 'Definition 1.1', followed by 'Theorem 2.1'
+and 'Definition 2.2'.

+12.8 '\newfont': Define a new font (obsolete)
+=============================================
 
+'\newfont', now obsolete, defines a command that will switch fonts.
 Synopsis:
 
-     \newfont{CMD}{FONTNAME}
+     \newfont{\CMD}{FONT DESCRIPTION}
 
-   Defines a control sequence '\CMD', which must not already be defined,
-to make FONTNAME be the current font.  The file looked for on the system
-is named 'FONTNAME.tfm'.
+   This defines a control sequence '\CMD' that will change the current
+font.  LaTeX will look on your system for a file named 'FONTNAME.tfm'.
+The control sequence must must not already be defined.  It must begin
+with a backslash ('\').
 
-   This is a low-level command for setting up to use an individual font.
-More commonly, fonts are defined in families through '.fd' files.
+   This command is obsolete.  It is a low-level command for setting up
+an individual font.  Today fonts are almost always defined in families
+(which allows you to, for example, associate a boldface with a roman)
+through the so-called "New Font Selection Scheme", either by using '.fd'
+files or through the use of an engine that can access system fonts such
+as XeLaTeX (*note TeX engines::).
 
-12.8 '\protect'
-===============
+   But since it is part of LaTeX, here is an explanation: the FONT
+DESCRIPTION consists of a FONTNAME and an optional "at clause"; this can
+have the form either 'at DIMEN' or 'scaled FACTOR', where a FACTOR of
+'1000' means no scaling.  For LaTeX's purposes, all this does is scale
+all the character and other font dimensions relative to the font's
+design size, which is a value defined in the '.tfm' file.
+
+   This example defines two equivalent fonts and typesets a few
+characters in each:
 
-Footnotes, line breaks, any command that has an optional argument, and
-many more are so-called "fragile" commands.  When a fragile command is
-used in certain contexts, called "moving arguments", it must be preceded
-by '\protect'.  In addition, any fragile commands within the arguments
-must have their own '\protect'.
+     \newfont{\testfontat}{cmb10 at 11pt}
+     \newfont{\testfontscaled}{cmb10 scaled 11pt}
+     \testfontat abc
+     \testfontscaled abc
 
-   Some examples of moving arguments are '\caption' (*note figure::),
-'\thanks' (*note \maketitle::), and expressions in 'tabular' and 'array'
+12.9 '\protect'
+===============
+
+All LaTeX commands are either "fragile" or "robust".  Footnotes, line
+breaks, any command that has an optional argument, and many more, are
+fragile.  A fragile command can break when it is used in the argument to
+certain commands.  To prevent such commands from breaking they must be
+preceded by the command '\protect'.
+
+   For example, when LaTeX runs the '\section{SECTION NAME}' command it
+writes the SECTION NAME text to the '.aux' auxiliary file, moving it
+there for use elsewhere in the document such as in the table of
+contents.  Any argument that is internally expanded by LaTeX without
+typesetting it directly is referred to as a "moving argument".  A
+command is fragile if it can expand during this process into invalid TeX
+code.  Some examples of moving arguments are those that appear in the
+'\caption{..}' command (*note figure::), in the '\thanks{..}' command
+(*note \maketitle::), and in @-expressions in the 'tabular' and 'array'
 environments (*note tabular::).
 
-   Commands which are not fragile are called "robust".  They must not be
-preceded by '\protect'.
+   If you get strange errors from commands used in moving arguments, try
+preceding it with '\protect'.  Every fragile commands must be protected
+with their own '\protect'.
+
+   Although usually a '\protect' command doesn't hurt, length commands
+are robust and should not be preceded by a '\protect' command.  Nor can
+a '\protect' command be used in the argument to '\addtocounter' or
+'\setcounter' command.
 
-   See also:
+   In this example the 'caption' command gives a mysterious error about
+an extra curly brace.  Fix the problem by preceding each '\raisebox'
+command with '\protect'.

+       ..
+       \caption{Company headquarters of A\raisebox{1pt}{B}\raisebox{-1pt}{C}}
+     \end{figure}
+
+   In the next example the '\tableofcontents' command gives an error
+because the '\(..\)' in the section title expands to illegal TeX in the
+'.toc' file.  You can solve this by changing '\(..\)' to
+'\protect\(..\protect\)'.

 13 Counters
 ***********
 
 Everything LaTeX numbers for you has a counter associated with it.  The
-name of the counter is the same as the name of the environment or

-counters used in LaTeX's standard document classes to control numbering.
+name of the counter is often the same as the name of the environment or

+A "length" is a measure of distance.  Many LaTeX commands take a length
 as an argument.
 
-14.1 '\setlength{\LEN}{VALUE}'
+   Lengths come in two types.  A "rigid length" (what Plain TeX calls a
+"dimen") such as '10pt' cannot contain a 'plus' or 'minus' component.  A
+"rubber length" (what Plain TeX calls a "skip") can contain those, as
+with '1cm plus0.05cm minus0.01cm'.  These give the ability to stretch or
+shrink; the length in the prior sentence could appear in the output as
+long as 1.05 cm or as short as 0.99 cm, depending on what TeX's
+typesetting algorithm finds optimum.
+
+   The 'plus' or 'minus' component of a rubber length can contain a
+"fill" component, as in '1in plus2fill'.  This gives the length infinite
+stretchability or shrinkability, so that the length in the prior
+sentence can be set by TeX to any distance greater than or equal to
+1 inch.  TeX actually provides three infinite glue components 'fil',
+'fill', and 'filll', such that the later ones overcome the earlier ones,
+but only the middle value is ordinarily used.  *Note \hfill::, *Note
+\vfill::.
+
+   Multiplying an entire rubber length by a number turns it into a rigid
+length, so that after '\setlength{\ylength}{1in plus 0.2in}' and
+'\setlength{\zlength}{3\ylength}' then the value of '\zlength' is '3in'.
+
+14.1 Units of length
+====================
+
+TeX and LaTeX know about these units both inside and outside of math
+mode.
+
+'pt'
+     Point 1/72.27 inch.  The conversion to metric units, to two decimal
+     places, is 1point = 2.85mm = 28.45cm.
+
+'pc'
+     Pica, 12 pt
+
+'in'
+     Inch, 72.27 pt
+
+'bp'
+     Big point, 1/72 inch.  This length is the definition of a point in
+     PostScript and many desktop publishing systems.
+
+'cm'
+     Centimeter
+
+'mm'
+     Millimeter
+
+'dd'
+     Didot point, 1.07 pt
+
+'cc'
+     Cicero, 12 dd
+
+'sp'
+     Scaled point, 1/65536 pt
+
+   Two other lengths that are often used are values set by the designer
+of the font.  The x-height of the current font "ex", traditionally the
+height of the lower case letter x, is often used for vertical lengths.
+Similarly "em", traditionally the width of the capital letter M, is
+often used for horizontal lengths (there is also '\enspace', which is
+'0.5em').  Use of these can help make a definition work better across
+font changes.  For example, a definition of the vertical space between
+list items given as '\setlength{\itemsep}{1ex plus 0.05ex minus 0.01ex}'
+is more likely to still be reasonable if the font is changed than a
+definition given in points.
+
+   In math mode, many definitions are expressed in terms of the math
+unit "mu" given by 1 em = 18 mu, where the em is taken from the current
+math symbols family.  *Note Spacing in math mode::.
+
+14.2 '\setlength{\LEN}{VALUE}'

 16.1 Subscripts & superscripts
 ==============================
 
-To get an expression exp to appear as a subscript, you just type
-'_{'exp'}'.  To get exp to appear as a superscript, you type '^{'exp'}'.
-LaTeX handles superscripted superscripts and all of that stuff in the
-natural way.  It even does the right thing when something has both a
-subscript and a superscript.
+In math mode, use the caret character '^' to make the EXP appear as a
+superscript, ie. type '^{EXP}'.  Similarly, in math mode,
+underscore '_{EXP}' makes a subscript out of EXP.
+
+   In this example the '0' and '1' appear as subscripts while the '2' is
+a superscript.
+
+     \( (x_0+x_1)^2 \)
+
+   To have more than one character in EXP use curly braces as in
+'e^{-2x}'.
+
+   LaTeX handles superscripts on superscripts, and all of that stuff, in
+the natural way, so expressions such as 'e^{x^2}' and 'x_{a_0}' will
+look right.  It also does the right thing when something has both a
+subscript and a superscript.  In this example the '0' appears at the
+bottom of the integral sign while the '10' appears at the top.
+
+     \int_0^{10} x^2 \,dx
+
+   You can put a superscript or subscript before a symbol with a
+construct such as '{}_t K^2' in math mode (the initial '{}' prevents the
+prefixed subscript from being attached to any prior symbols in the
+expression).
+
+   Outside of math mode, a construct like 'A
+test$_\textnormal{subscript}$' will produce a subscript typeset in text
+mode, not math mode.  Note that there are packages specialized for
+writing Chemical formulas such as 'mhchem'.

+     '$f'''$' produces the the desired symbol, that is, the same result
+     as '$f^{\prime\prime\prime}$', but uses somewhat less typing.  Note
+     that you can only use '\prime' in math mode but you can type right
+     single quote ''' in text mode also, although it resuts in a
+     different look than in math mode.

+     with '\abs{\frac{22}{7}}' the bars do not grow with the height of
+     the argument but instead are the default height, and '\abs[SIZE

 Synopsis:

+     \hspace{LENGTH}
+     \hspace*{LENGTH}
+
+   Add the horizontal space given by LENGTH.  The LENGTH is a rubber
+length, that is, it may contain a 'plus' or 'minus' component, in any
+unit that LaTeX understands (*note Lengths::).
+
+   This command can add both positive and negative space; adding
+negative space is like backspacing.
+
+   Normally when TeX breaks a paragraph into lines it discards white
+space (glues and kerns) that would come at the start of a line, so you
+get an inter-word space or a line break between words but not both.
+This command's starred version '\hspace*{..}' puts a non-discardable
+invisible item in front of the space, so the space appears in the
+output.
 
-   The '\hspace' command adds horizontal space.  The LENGTH argument can
-be expressed in any terms that LaTeX understands: points, inches, etc.
-It is a rubber length.  You can add both negative and positive space
-with an '\hspace' command; adding negative space is like backspacing.
+   This example make a one-line paragraph that puts 'Name:' an inch from

-   LaTeX normally removes horizontal space that comes at the beginning

+Produce a rubber length which has no natural space but can stretch

+   The command '\hfill' is equivalent to '\hspace{\fill}'.  For space

+(*note \hspace::).
 
-19.3 '\SPACE': Normal interword space
-=====================================
+19.3 '\(SPACE)' and \@
+======================
 
-The '\ ' (space) command produces a normal interword space.  It's useful
-after punctuation which shouldn't end a sentence.  For example, 'the
-article in Proc.\ Amer.\ Math\. Soc.\ is fundamental'.  It is also often
-used after control sequences, as in '\TeX\ is a nice system.'
+Mark a punctuation character, typically a period, as either ending a
+sentence or as ending an abbreviation.
+
+   By default, in justifying a line LaTeX adjusts the space after a
+sentence-ending period (or a question mark, exclamation point, comma, or
+colon) more than the space between words (*note \frenchspacing::).
+LaTeX assumes that the period ends a sentence unless it is preceded by a
+capital letter, in which case it takes that period for part of an
+abbreviation.  Note that if a sentence-ending period is immediately
+followed by a right parenthesis or bracket, or right single or double
+quote, then the intersentence space follows that parenthesis or quote.
+
+   If you have a period ending an abbreviation whose last letter is not
+a capital letter, and that abbreviation is not the last word in the
+sentence, then follow that period with a backslash-space ('\ ') or a tie
+('~').  Examples are 'Nat.\ Acad.\ Science', and 'Mr.~Bean', and
+'(manure, etc.)\ for sale'.
+
+   For other use of '\ ', see also *note \(SPACE) after CS::.
+
+   In the opposite situation, if you have a capital letter followed by a
+period that ends the sentence, then put '\@' on the left of that period.
+For example, 'book by the MAA\@.' will have intersentence spacing after
+the period.
+
+   In contrast, putting '\@' on the right of a period tells TeX that the
+period does not end the sentence.  In the example 'reserved words (if,
+then, etc.\@) are different', TeX will put interword space after the
+closing parenthesis (note that '\@' is before the parenthesis).
+
+19.4 '\ ' after a control sequence
+==================================
 
-   In normal circumstances, '\'<tab> and '\'<newline> are equivalent to
-'\ '.
+The '\ ' command is often used after control sequences to keep them from
+gobbling the space that follows, as in '\TeX\ is a nice system.' And,
+under normal circumstances '\'<tab> and '\'<newline> are equivalent to
+'\ '.  For other use of '\ ', see also *note \(SPACE) and \@::.
 
-19.4 '\@': Force sentence-ending punctuation
-============================================
+   Some people prefer to use '{}' for the same purpose, as in '\TeX{} is
+a nice system.' This has the advantage that you can always write it the
+same way, like '\TeX{}', whether it is followed by a space or by a
+punctuation mark.  Please compare:
 
-The '\@' command makes the following punctuation character end a
-sentence even if it normally would not.  This is typically used after a
-capital letter.  Here are side-by-side examples with and without '\@':

+   When you define user commands (*note \newcommand & \renewcommand::)

+natural length of the total vertical space equal to LENGTH.
+
+   Use this command to adjust the vertical space above or below an
+environment that starts a new paragraph.  (For instance, a Theorem
+environment is defined to begin and end in '\addvspace{..}' so that two

-You can use LaTeX to typeset letters, both personal and business.  The
-'letter' document class is designed to make a number of letters at once,
-although you can make just one if you so desire.
+Synopsis:
 
-   Your '.tex' source file has the same minimum commands as the other
-document classes, i.e., you must have the following commands as a
-minimum:
+     \documentclass{letter}
+     \address{SENDER ADDRESS}
+     \signature{SENDER NAME}
+     \begin{document}
+     \begin{letter}{RECIPIENT ADDRESS}

-      \begin{document}
-       ... letters ...

+   Produce one or more letters.
 
-   Each letter is a 'letter' environment, whose argument is the name and
-address of the recipient.  For example, you might have:
+   Each letter is in a separate 'letter' environment, whose argument
+RECIPIENT ADDRESS often contains multiple lines separated with a double
+backslash ('\\').  For example, you might have:
 
-      \begin{letter}{Mr. Joe Smith\\ 2345 Princess St.
-           \\ Edinburgh, EH1 1AA}
+      \begin{letter}{Mr. Joe Smith \\
+           2345 Princess St. \\
+           Edinburgh, EH1 1AA}
         ...
       \end{letter}
 
-   The letter itself begins with the '\opening' command.  The text of
-the letter follows.  It is typed as ordinary LaTeX input.  Commands that
-make no sense in a letter, like '\chapter', do not work.  The letter
-closes with a '\closing' command.
-
-   After the 'closing', you can have additional material.  The '\cc'
-command produces the usual "cc: ...".  There's also a similar '\encl'
-command for a list of enclosures.  With both these commands, use '\\' to
-separate the items.
+   The start of the 'letter' environment resets the page number to 1,
+and the footnote number to 1 also.
+
+   The SENDER ADDRESS and SENDER NAME are common to all of the letters,
+whether there is one or more, so these are best put in the preamble.  As
+with the recipient address, often SENDER ADDRESS contains multiple lines
+separated by a double backslash ('\\').  LaTeX will put the SENDER NAME
+under the closing, after a vertical space for the traditional
+hand-written signature; it also can contain multiple lines.
+
+   Each letter environment begins with a required '\opening' command
+such as '\opening{Dear Madam or Sir:}'.  The LETTER BODY text is
+ordinary LaTeX so it can contain everything from from enumerated lists
+to displayed math, except that commands such as '\chapter' that make no
+sense in a letter are turned off.  Each letter environment typically
+ends with a '\closing' command such as '\closing{Yours,}'.
+
+   Additional material may come after the '\closing'.  You can say who
+is receiving a copy of the letter with a command like '\cc{the Boss \\
+the Boss's Boss}'.  There's a similar '\encl' command for a list of
+enclosures.  And, you can add a postscript with '\ps'.
+
+   LaTeX's default is to indent the signature and the '\closing' above
+it by a length of '\longindentation'.  By default this is
+'0.5\textwidth'.  To make them flush left, put
+'\setlength{\longindentation}{0em}' in your preamble.
+
+   To set a fixed date use something like
+'\renewcommand{\today}{2015-Oct-12}'.  If put in your preamble then it
+will apply to all the letters.
+
+   This example shows only one 'letter' environment.  The three lines
+marked as optional are typically omitted.

-24.8 '\opening{TEXT}'
-=====================
+   Sender's name, used for printing on the envelope together with the
+return address.
+
+24.8 '\opening'
+===============
 
 Synopsis:
 
      \opening{TEXT}
 
-   A letter begins with the '\opening' command.  The mandatory argument,
-TEXT, is whatever text you wish to start your letter.  For instance:
+   This command is required.  It starts a letter, following the
+'\begin{letter}{..}'.  The mandatory argument TEXT is the text that
+starts your letter.  For instance:
 
-     \opening{Dear Joe,}
+     \opening{Dear John:}
 
 24.9 '\ps'

+Synopsis:
+
+     \ps{TEXT}
+
+   Add a postscript.  This command is optional and usually is used after
 '\closing'.
 
-24.10 '\signature{TEXT}'
-========================
+     \ps{P.S.  After you have read this letter, burn it. Or eat it.}
 
-Your name, as it should appear at the end of the letter underneath the
-space for your signature.  '\\' starts a new line within TEXT as usual.
+24.10 '\signature'
+==================
 
-24.11 '\startbreaks'
-====================
+Synopsis:
 
-'\startbreaks'
+     \signature{FIRST LINE \\
+                 .. }
 
-   Used after a '\stopbreaks' command to allow page breaks again.
+   The sender's name.  This command is optional, although its inclusion
+is usual.
 
-24.12 '\stopbreaks'
-===================
+   The argument text appears at the end of the letter, after the closing
+and after a vertical space for the traditional hand-written signature.
+Separate multiple lines with a double backslash '\\'.  For example:
+
+     \signature{J Fred Muggs \\
+                White House}
 
-'\stopbreaks'
+   LaTeX's default for the vertical space from the '\closing' text down
+to the '\signature' text is '6\medskipamount', which is six times 0.7em.
 
-   Inhibit page breaks until a '\startbreaks' command occurs.
+   This command is usually in the preamble, to apply to all the letters
+in the document.  To have it apply to one letter only, put it inside a
+'letter' environment and before the '\closing'.
 
-24.13 '\telephone'
+   You can include a graphic in the signature, for instance with
+'\signature{\vspace{-6\medskipamount}\includegraphics{sig.png}\\ My
+name}' (this requires writing '\usepackage{graphicx}' in the preamble).
+
+24.11 '\telephone'
 ==================

+double-backslashes&nbsp;(<code>\\</code>) (<pxref label="_005c_005c"><xrefnodename>\\</xrefnodename></pxref>).

+<para>The required argument <var>cols</var> describes the number of columns, their

+other common features of the two environments, including the optional
+<var>pos</var> argument.
+</para>
+<para>There are two ways that <code>array</code> diverges from <code>tabular</code>.  The
+first is that <code>array</code> entries are typeset in mathematics mode, in
+textstyle (except if the <var>cols</var> definition specifies the column with
+<code>&arobase;p&lbrace;..&rbrace;</code>, which causes the entry to be typeset in text mode).
+The second is that, instead of <code>tabular</code>&textrsquo;s parameter
+<code>\tabcolsep</code>, &latex;&textrsquo;s intercolumn space in an array is governed
+by
+<findex index="fn" spaces=" "><indexterm index="fn" number="211">\arraycolsep</indexterm></findex>
+<code>\arraycolsep</code> which gives half the width between columns. The
+default for this is <samp>5pt</samp>.
+</para>
+<para>To obtain arrays with braces the standard is to use the <file>amsmath</file>
+package.  It comes with environments <code>pmatrix</code> for an array
+surrounded by parentheses&nbsp;<code>(..)</code>, <code>bmatrix</code> for an array
+surrounded by square brackets&nbsp;<code>[..]</code>, <code>Bmatrix</code> for an
+array surrounded by curly braces&nbsp;<code>&lbrace;..&rbrace;</code>, <code>vmatrix</code> for

+<para>Note that the <file>amsmath</file> package has extensive displayed equation

+<para>The construct <code>\[..math text..\]</code> is essentially a synonym for
+<code>\begin&lbrace;displaymath&rbrace;..math text..\end&lbrace;displaymath&rbrace;</code> but the
+latter is easier to work with in the source file; for instance,
+searching for a square bracket may get false positives but the word
+<code>displaymath</code> will likely be unique.  (The construct <code>$$..math
+text..$$</code> from Plain&nbsp;&tex; is sometimes mistakenly used as a
+synonym for <code>displaymath</code>.  It is not a synonym, because the
+<code>displaymath</code> environment checks that it isn&textrsquo;t started in math mode
+and that it ends in math mode begun by the matching environment start,
+because the <code>displaymath</code> environment has different vertical
+spacing, and because the <code>displaymath</code> environment honors the
+<code>fleqn</code> option.)

-<para>The <code>enumerate</code> environment produces a numbered list.  Enumerations
-can be nested within one another, up to four levels deep.  They can also
-be nested within other paragraph-making environments, such as

-(<pxref label="description"><xrefnodename>description</xrefnodename></pxref>).

-<para>The optional argument <code>[placement]</code> determines where &latex; will try
-to place your table.  There are four places where &latex; can possibly put
-a float; these are the same as that used with the <code>figure</code>
-environment, and described there (<pxref label="figure"><xrefnodename>figure</xrefnodename></pxref>).

+environment&textrsquo;s intercolumn area default adjoining this multicolumn
+entry. To affect that area, this argument can contain vertical bars
+<code>|</code> indicating the placement of vertical rules, and <code>&arobase;&lbrace;..&rbrace;</code>
+expressions.  Thus if <var>cols</var> is <samp>|c|</samp> then this multicolumn
+entry will be centered and a vertical rule will come in the intercolumn
+area before it and after it.  This table details the exact behavior.

+<para>Before the first entry the output will not have a vertical rule because

+vertical rule; although the first <var>cols</var> does not have an ending
+vertical bar, the second <var>cols</var> does have a starting one.  Between
+entry two and entry three there is a single vertical rule; despite that
+the <var>cols</var> in both of the surrounding <code>multicolumn</code>&textrsquo;s call for
+a vertical rule, you only get one rule.  Between entry three and entry
+four there is no vertical rule; the default calls for one but the
+<var>cols</var> in the entry three <code>\multicolumn</code> leaves it out, and
+that takes precedence.  Finally, following entry four there is a
+vertical rule because of the default.
+</para>
+<para>The number of spanned columns <var>numcols</var> can be 1.  Besides giving

+<para>In the example below, in the <code>tabular</code> definition the first column

+<para>This command is obsolete.  It is a low-level command for setting up an
+individual font.  Today fonts are almost always defined in families
+(which allows you to, for example, associate a boldface with a roman)
+through the so-called &textldquo;New Font Selection Scheme&textrdquo;, either by using
+<file>.fd</file> files or through the use of an engine that can access

+<para>But since it is part of &latex;, here is an explanation: the

+<para>All &latex; commands are either <dfn>fragile</dfn> or <dfn>robust</dfn>.
+Footnotes, line breaks, any command that has an optional argument, and
+many more, are fragile.  A fragile command can break when it is used in
+the argument to certain commands.  To prevent such commands from
+breaking they must be preceded by the command <code>\protect</code>.
+</para>
+<para>For example, when &latex; runs the <code>\section&lbrace;<var>section
+name</var>&rbrace;</code> command it writes the <var>section name</var> text to the
+<file>.aux</file> auxiliary file, moving it there for use elsewhere in the
+document such as in the table of contents.  Any argument that is
+internally expanded by &latex; without typesetting it directly is
+referred to as a <dfn>moving argument</dfn>.  A command is fragile if it can
+expand during this process into invalid &tex; code.  Some examples of
+moving arguments are those that appear in the <code>\caption&lbrace;..&rbrace;</code>
+command (<pxref label="figure"><xrefnodename>figure</xrefnodename></pxref>), in the <code>\thanks&lbrace;..&rbrace;</code> command
+(<pxref label="_005cmaketitle"><xrefnodename>\maketitle</xrefnodename></pxref>), and in &arobase;-expressions in the <code>tabular</code> and

+protected with their own <code>\protect</code>.  
+</para>
+<para>Although usually a <code>\protect</code> command doesn&textrsquo;t hurt, length
+commands are robust and should not be preceded by a <code>\protect</code>
+command. Nor can a <code>\protect</code> command be used in the argument to
+<code>\addtocounter</code> or <code>\setcounter</code> command.

+<para>Lengths come in two types.  A <dfn>rigid length</dfn> (what Plain &tex;

+<code>minus</code> component.  A <dfn>rubber length</dfn> (what Plain &tex; calls
+a <dfn>skip</dfn>) can contain those, as with <code>1cm plus0.05cm
+minus0.01cm</code>.  These give the ability to stretch or shrink; the length
+in the prior sentence could appear in the output as long as 1.05&nbsp;cm
+or as short as 0.99&nbsp;cm, depending on what &tex;&textrsquo;s typesetting
+algorithm finds optimum.
+</para>
+<para>The <code>plus</code> or <code>minus</code> component of a rubber length can contain
+a <dfn>fill</dfn> component, as in <code>1in plus2fill</code>.  This gives the
+length infinite stretchability or shrinkability, so that the length in
+the prior sentence can be set by &tex; to any distance greater than or
+equal to 1&nbsp;inch.  &tex; actually provides three infinite glue
+components <code>fil</code>, <code>fill</code>, and <code>filll</code>, such that the
+later ones overcome the earlier ones, but only the middle value is

+<code>\enspace</code>, which is <code>0.5em</code>).  Use of these can help make a
+definition work better across font changes.  For example, a definition
+of the vertical space between list items given as
+<code>\setlength&lbrace;\itemsep&rbrace;&lbrace;1ex plus 0.05ex minus 0.01ex&rbrace;</code> is more

-<para>The <code>\&arobase;</code> command makes the following punctuation character end a
-sentence even if it normally would not.  This is typically used after
-a capital letter.  Here are side-by-side examples with and without
-<code>\&arobase;</code>:
+<para>Mark a punctuation character, typically a period, as either ending a
+sentence or as ending an abbreviation.
+</para>
+<para>By default, in justifying a line &latex; adjusts the space after a
+sentence-ending period (or a question mark, exclamation point, comma, or
+colon) more than the space between words
+(<pxref label="_005cfrenchspacing"><xrefnodename>\frenchspacing</xrefnodename></pxref>). &latex; assumes that the period ends a
+sentence unless it is preceded by a capital letter, in which case it
+takes that period for part of an abbreviation.  Note that if a
+sentence-ending period is immediately followed by a right parenthesis or
+bracket, or right single or double quote, then the intersentence space
+follows that parenthesis or quote.
+</para>
+<para>If you have a period ending an abbreviation whose last letter is not a
+capital letter, and that abbreviation is not the last word in the
+sentence, then follow that period with a backslash-space (<code>\ </code>) or
+a tie (<code>~</code>).  Examples are <code>Nat.\ Acad.\ Science</code>, and
+<code>Mr.~Bean</code>, and <code>(manure, etc.)\ for sale</code>.
+</para>
+<para>For other use of <code>\ </code>, see also <ref label="_005c_0028SPACE_0029-after-CS"><xrefnodename>\(SPACE) after CS</xrefnodename></ref>.
+</para>
+<para>In the opposite situation, if you have a capital letter followed by a
+period that ends the sentence, then put <code>\&arobase;</code> on the left of that
+period.  For example, <code>book by the MAA\&arobase;.</code> will have intersentence
+spacing after the period.
+</para>
+<para>In contrast, putting <code>\&arobase;</code> on the right of a period tells &tex;
+that the period does not end the sentence.  In the example
+<code>reserved words (if, then, etc.\&arobase;) are different</code>, &tex; will put
+interword space after the closing parenthesis (note that <code>\&arobase;</code> is
+before the parenthesis).
