-<h3>Entering compatibility mode</h3>
-<p/>You run your LaTeX job, and it starts by saying
-<blockquote>
-<pre>
-Entering LaTeX 2.09 COMPATIBILITY MODE
-</pre>
-</blockquote><p>
-followed by lines of asterisks and <code>!!WARNING!!</code>.
-<p/>This means that the document is not written in &#8220;current&#8221; LaTeX
-syntax, and that there is no guarantee that all parts of the document
-will be formatted correctly.
-<p/>If the document is someone else&#8217;s, and you want no more than a copy to
-read, ignore the error. The document may fail elsewhere, but as often
-as not it will provide a <code>.dvi</code> or <code>.pdf</code> that&#8217;s
-adequate for most purposes.
-<p/>If it&#8217;s a new document you have just started working on, you have been
-misled by someone. You have written something like:
-<blockquote>
- <code>\</code><code>documentstyle{article}</code>
-</blockquote><p>
-or, more generally:
-<blockquote>
- <code>\</code><code>documentstyle[</code><em>options</em><code>]{</code><em>class</em><code>}</code>
-</blockquote><p>
-These forms are (as the warning says) LaTeX 2.09 syntax, and to get rid
-of the warning, you must change the command.
-<p/>The simple form is easy to deal with:
-<blockquote>
- <code>\</code><code>documentstyle{article}</code>
-</blockquote><p>
-should become:
-<blockquote>
- <code>\</code><code>documentclass{article}</code>
-</blockquote><p>
-The complex form is more difficult, since LaTeX 2.09 &#8220;options&#8221;
-conflate two sorts of things &#8212; options for the class (such as
-<code>11pt</code>, <code>fleqn</code>), and packages to be loaded.
-So:
-<blockquote>
- <code>\</code><code>documentstyle[11pt,verbatim]{article}</code>
-</blockquote><p>
-should become:
-<blockquote>
- <code>\</code><code>documentclass[11pt]{article}</code><br>
- <code>\</code><code>usepackage{verbatim}</code>
-</blockquote><p>
-because <code>11pt</code> happens to be a class option, while
-<i>verbatim</i> is a package.
-<p/>There&#8217;s no simple way to work out what are class options under
-LaTeX 2.09; for <i>article</i>, the list includes <code>10pt</code>,
-<code>11pt</code>, <code>12pt</code>, <code>draft</code>,
-<code>fleqn</code>, <code>leqno</code>, <code>twocolumn</code> and
-<code>twoside</code> &#8212; anything else must be a package.
-<p/>Your document may well &#8220;just work&#8221; after changes like those above;
-if not, you should think through what you&#8217;re trying to do, and consult
-documentation on how to do it &#8212; there are lots of
-<a href="FAQ-tutorialstar.html">free tutorials</a> to help you on your way, if you
-don&#8217;t have access to a LaTeX manual of any sort.
