They are as documented in the LaTeX manual plus documentation that comes with the standard distribution. The example that gave rise to this is an example of how they are not "anything TeX likes". It would be difficult for us to make them anything else. > I think that those parsers, if they want to be correct, *should* parse > according to the general TeX syntax (and semantics). No, not if they are parsing LaTeX documents. You see TeX can have any syntax (in some sense of any:-) so a parser that could do that would be as difficult to produce as TeX. > [ But there is really only one correct parser---TeX ;-) ] For TeX, yes (thankfully:-); but not for LaTeX documents. chris
