-<h3><code>\</code><code>@</code> and <code>@</code> in macro names</h3>
-<p/>Macro names containing <code>@</code> are <em>internal</em> to LaTeX, and
-without special treatment just don&#8217;t work in ordinary use. A nice
-example of the problems caused is discussed in
-<a href="FAQ-atvert.html"><code>\</code><code>@</code> in vertical mode</a>&#8221;.
-<p/>The problems users see are caused by copying bits of a class
-(<code>.cls</code> file) or
-package (<code>.sty</code> file) into a document, or by including a class or
-package file into a LaTeX document by some means other than
-<code>\</code><code>documentclass</code> or <code>\</code><code>usepackage</code>. LaTeX defines internal
-commands whose names contain the character <code>@</code> to
-avoid clashes between its internal names and names that we would
-normally use in our documents. In order that these commands may work
-at all, <code>\</code><code>documentclass</code> and <code>\</code><code>usepackage</code> play around with the
-meaning of <code>@</code>.
-<p/>If you&#8217;ve included a file some other way (for example, using
-<code>\</code><code>input</code>), you can probably solve the problem by using the correct
-command.
-<p/>If you&#8217;re using a fragment of a package or class, you may well feel
-confused: books such as the first edition of the
-<a href="FAQ-books.html">The LaTeX Companion</a>
-are full of fragments of packages as examples for you to employ.
-The second edition of the <em>Companion</em> makes clearer how you
-should use these fragments, and in addition, the code of
-all the examples is now available on CTAN.
-To see the technique in practice, look at the example below, from file
-<i>2-2-7.ltx</i> in the <em>Companion</em> examples directory:
-<blockquote>
-<pre>
-\makeatletter
-\renewcommand\subsection{\@startsection
- {subsection}{2}{0mm}%name, level, indent
- {-\baselineskip}% beforeskip
- {0.5\baselineskip}% afterskip
- {\normalfont\normalsize\itshape}}% style
-\makeatother
-</pre>
-</blockquote><p>
-(That example appears on page 29 of <em>The LaTeX Companion</em>,
-second edition.)
-<p/>The alternative is to treat all these fragments as a package proper,
-bundling them up into a <code>.sty</code> file and including them with
-<code>\</code><code>usepackage</code>; this way you hide your LaTeX internal code somewhere
-that LaTeX internal code is expected, which often looks &#8216;tidier&#8217;.
