-<h3>LaTeX internal &#8220;abbreviations&#8221;, etc.</h3>
-<p/>In the deeps of time, when TeX first happened, computers had
-extremely limited memory, and were (by today&#8217;s standards) painfully
-slow. When LaTeX came along, things weren&#8217;t much better, and even
-when LaTeX2e appeared, there was a strong imperative to save memory
-space (and to a lesser extent) CPU time.
-<p/>From the very earliest days, Knuth used shortcut macros to speed
-things up. LaTeX, over the years, has extended Knuth&#8217;s list by a
-substantial amount. An interesting feature of the &#8220;abbreviations&#8221; is
-that on paper, they may look longer than the thing they stand for;
-however, to (La)TeX they <em>feel</em> smaller&#8230;
-<p/>The table at the end of this answer lists the commonest of these
-&#8220;abbreviations&#8221;. It is not complete; as always, if the table
-doesn&#8217;t help, try the LaTeX source. The table lists each
-abbreviation&#8217;s <em>name</em> and its <em>value</em>, which provide most of
-what a user needs to know. The table also lists the abbreviation&#8217;s
-<em>type</em>, which is a trickier concept: if you need to know, the
-only real confusion is that the abbreviations labelled &#8216;defn&#8217; are
-defined using an <code>\</code><code><em>xxx</code>def</em> command.
