This can be overcome by defining an + `intelligent' comma, which adds the space only, if the + next input character is actually a blank. In contrast to + other known solutions, the LaTeX package icomma.sty does + not rely on the particular encoding of the CM math fonts, + and it works with decimal numbers of arbitrary length. + +upgreek: A LaTeX macro package to provide the upright Greek + letters from the Euler or Adobe Symbol fonts as additional + math symbols, with proper scaling in super- and + subscripts. + +gensymb: This LaTeX package provides generic commands + \degree, \celsius, \perthousand, \micro and \ohm, which + work both in text and math mode. The package should + co-operate flawlessly with the well-known units.sty. + Various means are provided to fake the symbols or take + them from external symbol fonts, if they are not available + in the default fonts used in the document. The package + makes optionally use of upgreek.sty. + +The style files can be unpacked by running the particular +installation script (.ins) through LaTeX. The files will +be created immediately in the appropriate TDS directory +tex/latex/was, if this directory exists and the DOCSTRIP +tool is properly configured -- otherwise they are written +into the current directory. + +The documentation of a package can be generated by running +the particular .dtx file through LaTeX. + +==finis |
