p.24
	Except in special cases mentioned in Chapter 5 and Appendix C,
	a \protect command can't hurt, so it is almost always safe to
	use one when you're not sure if it's necessary.
p.152
	All length commands are robust and must not be preceded by \protect.
	A \protect command should not be used in an argument of a \setcounter
	or \addtocounter commmand.
