Re: [Axiom-developer] Index entries for "eq?"

[Eugene Surowitz]

Tim,

The thing I did with a tex manuscript got off the ground
by turning something like
\integrate{0}{\infty}{\sin{x}}{x}
into
\integrate 0  \infty  \sin x   x
which consists of primitive exhaustive vocabulary elements.
The specalized tex/latex control sequences that you
are considering would just join everything else in the processing.
