List of obsolete Commands

Post by Cham »

Is there a complete list of obsolete LaTeX commands somewhere? What are the commands that are suggested not to use any more?

Have a look at l2tabu (Thorsten was faster :) ) and the nag package (documentation: nag)

Hmmm, sorry, I don't read German ! :lol:

The nag package appears to be a "must have". But is there a way to get all its warnings in another way than scrolling the long console log ?

If you follow the link and study the site a bit more careful, you will find links to the document in other languages (e.g. French). Directly in the first box. m(

The same information is written to the log file. So you can read it afterwards in any text editor.

Excellent! I successfully removed and updated all the obsolete commands in my source, and now nag doesn't complain any more! 8-)

I'm learning more LaTeX each day! :mrgreen:
