Package: tetex-src
Version: 1.0.2+20011202-1
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

mdwtab.dtx uses in its documentation part the macro pairs \<,\>, \[,\] and
\(,\) as synonyms for the `rep' and `stack' environments of syntax.sty. But
these macros -- which seem to have been part of an earlier version of
mdwtools.tex -- are not defined anymore or got conflicting definitions.

In the patch, the shortcut macros are replaced with the corresponding
environments. I have compared the resulting DVI file with tetex.doc's
mdwtab.dvi.gz to make sure that the syntax diagrams stayed the same.

This was a pure documentation bug: mdwtab.sty has not changed.

Dear bug submitter,

the bug you have submitted against one of the TeX packages concerns
not the Debian packaging of TeX Live, nor the upstream TeX Live 
distribution itself, but Up-upstream, the original author of
the respective package.

TeX Live only collects what authors provide.

Thus, neither we, the Debian TeX Team, nor the Upstream TeX Live team
can fix anything regarding this bug.

Furthermore, the bug you have reported is rather old.

We suggest you to do the following:
* verify that the bug is still present with current TeX Live (2013)
  installation on Debian
* if yes, please report the bug to the *original* author of the TeX
  package, and *not* to upstream TeX Live nor Debian

Other ways to deal with these bugs are requesting help from TeX experts,
your local TeX consultant, or local TeX User Groups. One good place to
ask questions is the newsgroup comp.text.tex, or the StackExchange
website http://tex.stackexchange.com


Thanks a lot for your understanding

Norbert
