\item{(xi)} Standard functions---page 162
\smallskip
Common mathematical functions like `sin' are always set in roman type.\par
To ensure this in mathematics mode use the following control sequences:\par\enspace
\halign{\indent#&&\tt\bs #\hskip1truecm\hfil\cr
&arccos&cos&csc&exp&ker&limsup&min&sinh\cr
&arcsin&cosh&deg&gcd&lg&ln&Pr&sup\cr
&arctan&cot&det&hom&lim&log&sec&tan\cr
&arg&coth&dim&inf&liminf&max&sin&tanh\cr}
\smallskip
Subscripts and superscripts will become limits when attached to {\def\,{{\rm ,}}
\let\\=\bs%
\tt\\det\, \\gcd\, \\inf\, \\lim\, \\liminf\, \\limsup\,\par
\\max\, \\min\, \\Pr\, \\sup}
in display style~~(eg.~{\tt\dol\dol\bs max\sb\lb 1\bs le n\bs le m\rb \bs log\sb
 2P\sb n\dol\dol}
produces $\displaystyle\max_{1\le n\le m}\log_2P_n$ as a displayed equation)
\mn
\item{(xii)} Accents
\smallskip
See page 135---the possibilities are:$\q\hat a\q\widehat{ab}\q\check a\q\tilde a
\q\widetilde{ab}\q\acute a\q
\grave a\q\dot a\q\ddot a\q\breve a\q\bar a\q\vec a\q$\qq(and others can be constructed)
