I don't know why I couldn't use \ldots directly - it kept complaining that I should have been in mathmode. ----------test.tex---------- What are the cleanest LATEX instructions to obtain double subscripts in an indexed summation, as in: \newbox\ldbox \setbox\ldbox\hbox{$\ldots$} \def\ld{\copy\ldbox} $$ \sum_{\vtop{\hbox{n=1,\ld,10}\hbox{m=1,\ld,10}}} a[n,m] $$ Answer by mail if possible. Much thanks in advance. \bye -- Dirk Grunwald -- Univ. of Illinois (grunwald@flute.cs.uiuc.edu) -- Dirk Grunwald -- Univ. of Illinois (grunwald@flute.cs.uiuc.edu)
