Hi all,

In some documents I see (La)TeX stypeset similarly to \LaTeX but with
parenthesis. Is there a command to do that? Thanks.

Not that I know of, but you can make it your self, you can find the
definition for \LaTeX if you type

texdoc source2e

in a terminal

i think the current form of the macro in tugboat is mine; the same
thing may be found in faq.sty in the uk faq source distribution.

of course, i don't have those hard spaces in the source.

annoying?

all my own fault: if i sorted my act out and found a newsreader that
coped with quoted-printable, i wouldn't be bothered at all ;-)
