Message-ID: <9106020056.AA22672@autarch.acsu.buffalo.edu> Date: 2 Jun 91 00:56:38 GMT Sender: daemon@ucbvax.BERKELEY.EDU Lines: 12 I wonder if there is an easier way to write things like [normal]T[subscript]lambda ? Or one has to write a ``T'' and then change position and font and write the lambda and then find position for next character? In TeX, one doesn't need to write about it, one simply writes $T_\lambda$. How do I select among 0.01 1.0E-2 1e-2 etc for show? I need them for labels. I used to program in FORTRAN and this is done by FORMAT control E5.2 F5.2 etc.
