  11. I am trying to redefine \@oddpage and \@evenpage in LaTeX.
  12. However TeX doesn't seem to be accepting my definitions.
  13. The example file below works for the two definitions without
  14. an @, and for the last definition with an @.
  15. \@oddhead and \@evenhead get confused with \@ when I try to 
  16. expand them later.
  17. Could someone please tell my why?
  18.  
  19. How do I make the others work?
  20.  
  21. \def\defone{first definition}
  22. \def\@oddhead{right head text}
  23. \def\@evenhead{left head text}
  24. \def\@anotherhead{another head text}
  25. \def\deftwo{seconf definition}
  26.  
  27. \@oddhead

  29. \@evenhead

  31. \@anotherhead
