Old commands


#decl532#
The || command still exists but is no longer being maintained. This is because it only ever worked erratically; it does not guarantee that there will be no page-breaks within its scope; and it can cause footnotes and marginals to be wrongly placed. We recommend using | in conjunction with page-break commands such as || and || to help control page breaks.
#decl534#
Since <#536#><#536#> no longer exists, the logo is no longer defined in the LATEX<#537#><#537#> kernel. A suitable replacement is |SLITEX|. The <#539#><#539#> logo is defined in LATEX~2.09 compatibility mode.

These symbols are contained in the LATEX<#542#><#542#> symbol font, which was automatically loaded by LATEX~2.09. However, TEX<#543#><#543#> has room for only sixteen math font families; thus many users discovered that they ran out. Because of this, LATEX<#544#><#544#> does not load the LATEX<#545#><#545#> symbol font unless you use the |latexsym| package. These symbols are also made available, using different fonts, by the |amsfonts| package, which also defines a large number of other symbols. It is supplied by the American Mathematical Society. The |latexsym| package is loaded automatically in LATEX~2.09 compatibility mode.
