Hello,

Could you explain the advantage over `\!` which Wolfgang suggested at
least for the space after the definition.
In addition, I think AMSTeX defines a command `\DeclareMathOperator` [1]

Hi all,
one of the biggest drawbacks to writing my thesis in ConTeXt was that
much of the material had already been written in LaTeX, and I didn't
really want to have to go through by hand and change all the syntax.
Borne out this laziness was atoctx.el (which originally meant 'AMSTeX to

luatex has native support for extensible arrows and since lm lacks them we
need to construct them
How do we extend these arrows? Traditionally, amstex uses \x...arrow
commands for extensible arrows, and \...arrow things are fixed.

.
In general, there are three 'mainstream' TeX macropackages: plain TeX
(say, plus AMSTeX), LaTeX and ConTeXt.
It seems that the majority of the TeX world uses LaTeX; most people,
when they say TeX, mean essentially LaTeX. LaTeX is a a big beast,
and if you are new to TeX _and_ don't want to submit papers
structure commands and a bit of
tabular stuff
at that time i think that the general idea was that one would write a
style for each book (or series) and that a plain like package can be
used as basis
context is (like latex, lamstex, inrstex, amstex, ...) a more generic
and configurable macro
to rely on the short command names as old TeX
packages did for many macros.
Yes, of course. I never really understood the stange naming conventions of
amstex.
Lines with \FR are flush left, lines with \MR are centered, and lines with
\LR are right flushed. (First row, middle row, last row
