2.6 Using TeX Macros

As described in TeX Macros, the use of macros should be restricted to the ones given in the previous sections. However, in rare situations one might be forced to use other TeX macros, for example in order to typeset a lattice. In this case you should provide an alternative for the on-line help. This can be done by putting in guiding commands as TeX comments:

%display{tex}
TeX version (only used by TeX manual)
%display{html}
%HTML version (only used by HTML manual)
%display{text}
%Text version (only used by the built-in manual browser)
endtt

However, this use of special macros should be limited to a minimum.
