+bite the LaTeX programmer who uses an internal command without
+taking &#8220;precautions&#8221;. An internal-style command such as <code>\</code><code>@foo</code>
+has been defined or used in a private macro, and it is interpreted as
+<code>\</code><code>@</code>, followed by the &#8216;text&#8217; <code>foo</code>. (<code>\</code><code>@</code> is used, for
+real, to set up end-of-sentence space in some circumstances; it uses
+<code>\</code><code>spacefactor</code> to do that.)
+<p/>The problem is discussed in detail in
&#8220;<a href="FAQ-atsigns.html"><code>@</code> in macro names</a>&#8221;,
together with solutions.
