The LaTeX accents package

Version: 5.5 - Scientific WorkPlace & Scientific Word

The accents package provides several tools for creating mathematical accents. You can create artificial accents using nonstandard accent symbols such as *. You can group multiple accents vertically using standard and nonstandard accent symbols. The accents can appear above or below the accented character. To create a pleasing image, the package modifies the leading between symbols.

You enter package commands using TeX fields in the body of your document. The commands are generally of the form \command{accent}{symbol}; see the package documentation for more information.

The package is installed in the TCITeX/TeX/LaTeX/contrib/bezos directory.
