When LaTeX came along, things weren’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’s list by a -substantial amount. An interesting feature of the “abbreviations” is -that on paper, they may look longer than the thing they stand for; -however, to (La)TeX they <em>feel</em> smaller... -<p/>The table at the end of this answer lists the commonest of these -“abbreviations”. It is not complete; as always, if the table -doesn’t help, try the LaTeX source. The table lists each -abbreviation’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’s -<em>type</em>, which is a trickier concept: if you need to know, the -only real confusion is that the abbreviations labelled ‘defn’ are -defined using an <code>\</code><code><em>xxx</code>def</em> command. -<p/><table rules="groups" border="0" cellpadding="3"><tbody><tr><td> -Name <td> Type <td> Value <tr><td> -</tbody><tbody><tr><td> -<code>\</code><code>m@ne</code> <td> count <td> -1 <tr><td> -<code>\</code><code>p@</code> <td> dimen <td> 1pt <tr><td> -<code>\</code><code>z@</code> <td> dimen <td> 0pt <tr><td> -<code>\</code><code>z@skip</code> <td> skip <td> 0pt plus 0pt minus 0pt <tr><td> -</tbody><tbody><tr><td> -<code>\</code><code>@ne</code> <td> defn <td> 1 <tr><td> -<code>\</code><code>tw@</code> <td> defn <td> 2<tr><td> -<code>\</code><code>thr@@</code> <td> defn <td> 3 <tr><td> -<code>\</code><code>sixt@@n</code> <td> defn <td> 16 <tr><td> -<code>\</code><code>@cclv</code> <td> defn <td> 255 <tr><td> -<code>\</code><code>@cclvi</code> <td> defn <td> 256 <tr><td> -<code>\</code><code>@m</code> <td> defn <td> 1000 <tr><td> -<code>\</code><code>@M</code> <td> defn <td> 10000 <tr><td> -<code>\</code><code>@MM</code> <td> defn <td> 20000 <tr><td> -</tbody><tbody><tr><td> -<code>\</code><code>@vpt</code> <td> macro <td> 5 <tr><td> -<code>\</code><code>@vipt</code> <td> macro <td> 6 <tr><td> -<code>\</code><code>@viipt</code> <td> macro <td> 7 <tr><td> -<code>\</code><code>@viiipt</code> <td> macro <td> 8 <tr><td> -<code>\</code><code>@ixpt</code> <td> macro <td> 9 <tr><td> -<code>\</code><code>@xpt</code> <td> macro <td> 10 <tr><td> -<code>\</code><code>@xipt</code> <td> macro <td> 10.95 <tr><td> -<code>\</code><code>@xiipt</code> <td> macro <td> 12 <tr><td> -<code>\</code><code>@xivpt</code> <td> macro <td> 14.4 <tr><td> -<code>\</code><code>@xviipt</code> <td> macro <td> 17.28 <tr><td> -<code>\</code><code>@xxpt</code> <td> macro <td> 20.74 <tr><td> -<code>\</code><code>@xxvpt</code> <td> macro <td> 24.88 <tr><td> -</tbody><tbody><tr><td> -<code>\</code><code>@plus</code> <td> macro <td> “<code>plus</code>” <tr><td> -<code>\</code><code>@minus</code> <td> macro <td> “<code>minus</code>” <tr><td> - -</tbody></table> -<p/><p>This question on the Web: <a href="http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=ltxabbrv">http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=ltxabbrv</a> -</body> |
