%We have tested Excalibur% on a large number of files, and it
%works quite well. However, here are some things to consider if
% Excalibur% does not seem to be doing its job.
%
%If there is a TeX and LaTeX way of doing things, Excalibur%
%usually handles the LaTeX method better. For example, use
%"
" instead of " =file".
%
%• Use the command instead of . For example, use
%\ instead of \to produce a backslash.
%
%• Use the command change the length of something.
%For example use instead of
%.
%
%• Use or instead of " will confuse Excalibur%.
%
%• If you use …to delimit the bounds of an
%equation, Excalibur% won't ignore it. Use
instead.
%
%• LaTeX will accept the command
%despite the fact that the manual says to use
% . That is, LaTeX doesn't insist on
%the first set of braces. Excalibur% expects to see both sets of
%braces. It will get confused if they are not present. We tried to
%follow the manual as much as possible.
%
%• A word may not begin with a left curly brace, but it may
%contain embedded curly braces. For example, Excalibur% will
%recognize the word "naïve" when it is written as na&̈#305;ve,
%naïve, or naïve but not naïve, even though
%this last form is syntactically correct. Of course you will need
%to put these in your dictionary if you would like Excalibur%
%not to flag them as spelling errors. Note that a space may be
%part of a word.
%
%• Excalibur% has a new color icon. If you have been using
%version 1.0 of Excalibur%, rebuild the desktop after copying
%this new version onto your machine. (Restart the computer and
%hold down the command and option keys.)
