A very insignificant observation. But in my opinion Hans Hagen is a perfectionist, therefore I dare to throw this bone to him.

In Dutch the greatest common divisor is not abbreviated as "gcd" but as "ggd". It is of course a simple matter to redefine this locally with:

\definemathcommand [gcd] [limop] {\mfunction{ggd}}

But the perfectionist would likely expect this to happen automagically on \language[nl].

Just mentioned this for fun, don't bother too much.

localizing math is indeed an interesting topic. \startlanguagespecifics[nl] \definemathcommand [gcd] [limop] {\mfunction{ggd}} \stoplanguagespecifics but ... then we need to be complete Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
