This would be a good change, trading \(...\) for $...$. In fact,
I could implement my \abbrev code after REDEFINING \(...\) as
$...$. Look at the code:
\newcommand\abbrev[2]{%
\def\({$} % HACK...
\def\){$}
\addcontentsline{loa}{chapter}{%
\rm%
\protect\parbox[t]{.2\textwidth}{#1}%
\hspace{0.025\textwidth}%
\protect\parbox[t]{.7\textwidth}{#2}
}
}
Doing this, expansion goes well and everything fits in place. Was
there any special reason to use \(...\) as inline math, in the
first place?
