What were you trying to do?
Use the mathadditions library for Scribe
What's wrong:
The mathadditions library defines an "@Mult()" environment
which clashes with the @Mult symbol defined in the Math environment of
regular scribe. If you use the mathadditions library you can get a
multiply symbol.
What should have happened:
The fix is to change the entry on mathadditions in the
olc-answers file or in the mathadditions info file to alert the user
to the bug. The user should also be told that a multiply symbol can be
generated with "#@jsym(R)#". Another fix would be to modify the
mathadditions library to change the name of the @Mult() environment.
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
Scribe user's guide, mathad.lib
