fltflt needed to print docs

1999-06-13 Thread Anonymous

mathed's lexer has some really stupid hacks in it. Following TeX on what is a macro makes the code *much* simpler and would eliminate even more if I could rebuild math_hash.C (the CVS sources seem to lack to input to gperf). All the change required is to put the first character after the \

Can anybody think of a worse word to put on the first page tutorial besides DANGER? How about something more redundant than repeating et cetera three times in a row?
